Tune in on June 19 at 12 PM (ET) for an thrilling recital with works by Silvestrov, Rachmanioff, and Stravinsky

We're coming to you from the Kronberg Academy in Kronberg im Taunus, Germany, for the weekly concert of the Kronberg Academy Young Virtuosi Series, featuring violinist Pauline van der Rest. For this concert, entitled Homage to Tchaikovsky, Pauline is joined by cellist Ivan Skanavi and pianist Martina Consonni.

Presently a student of Janine Jansen at the Kronberg Academy, Pauline van der Rest has previously won first prize in the Grumiaux Competition, the Odessa International Violin Competition, the Hondo Competition, and the Classic Academy Competition in Liège. She has performed in venues worldwide, including the Palais des beaux-arts and Flagey in Brussels, the Moscow International House of Music, and Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle. Pauline has soloed with orchestras such as the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège, the Orchester des Orchesterzentrum Dortmund, and has collaborated with renowned artists including Boris Garlitsky, Janine Jansen, Sunwook Kim, Torleif Thedéen and Timothy Ridout.

Every Wednesday at 12 PM (ET), audiences can watch an hour-long concert featuring the Kronberg Academy's students from the Professional Studies program and the Sir András Schiff Performance Program for Young Pianists. Recorded at the Carl Bechstein Hall, the recital programs were designed by the young artists themselves, and often feature their friends from the Academy’s Bachelor and Master programs performing alongside them.
