Life in the Casals Forum
The Casals Forum is the central point for all Kronberg Academy’s activities: for meetings between world-class artists and outstanding young musicians in the tuition rooms and on stage. It is a forum for developing the European cultural asset of classical music and a place where music inspires people to live together peacefully and sustainably.
As well as being used for Kronberg Academy events, the concert hall will be available to ensembles in residence for their rehearsals and to guest event organisers who share a similar mission to Kronberg Academy. The Chamber Orchestra of Europe will be the first orchestra in residence at the Casals Forum.
