GRAND­PRIX­KONZERT

15. Internationaler Deutscher Pianistenpreis 2026

Programme

Ludwig van Beethoven (1770–1827)
Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37

This work calls for a finely nuanced touch, stylistic clarity and a sense of balance between formal rigour and inner drama. With musical maturity and attentive interplay, Beethoven’s sound world unfolds with compelling presence.

Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943)
Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18

This composition demands tonal breadth, sweeping arcs of tension and the ability to combine virtuosity with deep emotion. In radiant sonority and lyrical intensity, his music unfolds with moving expressive power.

Tickets plus fees available from July at www.frankfurtticket.de or via the ticket hotline +49 69 13 30 400.

THE FOUR SEASONS IN JANOSKA STYLE

Kronberg Young Soloists, Jánoška Ensemble

Participants

  • Janoska Ensemble
  • Kronberg Young Soloists

Programme

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has been one of the best-known works in music history for more than 300 years. The Janoska Ensemble has brought this work into the 21st century with newly composed passages, joining forces with the young string players of the Kronberg Academy to combine Baroque splendour with improvisation, rhythmic freedom, and virtuoso joy in performance.

The result is a fresh and lively interpretation that approaches the original with respect while being full of energy, spontaneity, and surprising moments.

JANOSKA: VIRTUOSOS

Jánoška Ensemble

Participants

  • Janoska Ensemble

Programme

Virtuoso masterpieces for violin and piano are at the heart of this programme. The Janoska Ensemble presents works by Paganini, Kreisler, Liszt, Waxman, and other composers in its own distinctive voice — the Janoska Style.

Technical brilliance, improvisational freedom, and profound musicality merge in an interpretation that is spontaneous, passionate, and marked by the highest virtuosity.
