Winners Concert in Mainz: Young Chamber Music Shines in the Red Hall

An evening where young chamber music shines in Mainz

The winners concert for the chamber music competition of the Andreas Gepp and Anne Strube Foundation puts the chamber music education at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz in the spotlight. The competition was founded in January 2025 and serves to promote chamber music at HfM Mainz; the winners concert last year took place in the Red Hall with excellent ensembles and a prize pool totaling 5,100 euros.

Fine tension in the Red Hall

In the Red Hall of the Hochschule für Musik Mainz, a concert experience unfolds with immediate proximity to the musicians. Especially in chamber music, those fine arcs of tension arise, which consist of precise synchronization, breathing phrasing, and clever orchestration in the small. The previous competition contributions ranged from string quartet to woodwind quintet, showcasing a high technical level between Baroque and modern.

Support that becomes audible

A clear cultural-political signal is behind the evening: The foundation fund strengthens artistic education and enables students to compete and develop artistically. The Hochschule für Musik Mainz points out that the competitions and winners concerts are part of their broad educational and support profile. This makes the event not just a concert evening, but a visible moment of lived support for young talents. ([musik.uni-mainz.de](https://www.musik.uni-mainz.de/hochschulleben/?utm_source=openai))
