What kind of artists does tomorrow's world need? Artists who not only excel at music, but also take on social responsibility – that is the conviction of the Kronberg Academy, which is presenting the “Pablo Casals Award 2025,” sponsored by Flossbach von Storch, to violinist Midori for her social and educational commitment. As part of the award ceremony, the exceptional violinist will also give a musical performance – with Felix Mendelssohn's sparkling, vibrant violin concerto. Experience an artist who shows attitude and lets us forget the world through music – on October 5 at the Casals Forum.
As part of the concert, the PABLO CASALS AWARD - FOR A BETTER WORLD 2025 will be presented to violinist Midori for her commitment to social and educational projects, including “Midori & Friends” and “Music Sharing”.

Participants

- hr-Sinfonieorchester

Programme
Edward Elgar (1857–1934)
Cello concerto in E minor op. 85
Robert Schumann (1810-1857)
Symphony no. 4 in D minor op. 120
Concert without intermission
Robert Schumann's Fourth is not a classical symphony: its movements flow into one another without pause, merging into a single whole. The result is an organic sound that draws the listener in. Melancholic, comforting sounds envelop the listener in Edward Elgar's elegiac cello concerto with its vibrant tonal language, which can also be healing. Above all, the dark, intense cello tone of soloist Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt captivates the audience. All in all, it promises to be a rousing final concert of the Kronberg Festival on October 5.

Experiencing people and masters up close is part of the special aura of the Kronberg Academy. It is particularly exciting when the ‘greats’ perform together with young talents: such as on October 4, when star violinist Janine Jansen will be performing with young artists Jaemin Han and Sunwook Kim in Kronberg's Johanniskirche. With Dvořák, Janáček, and Smetana, the three bring an Eastern European program to Kronberg that is bursting with passion.
