Concerts with award winners and scholarship holders of the foundation

In addition to talent and hard work, young pianists need one thing above all: the opportunity to perform in front of an audience in public.”

Gregor Willmes, Chairman of the Carl Bechstein Foundation

These have included, and still include, collaborations with the Bachverein Rostock, the Monheimer Kulturwerke, the Clinker Lounge in Berlin Prenzlauer Berg, the Berlin Gedächtniskirche, the Orangerie Schloss Charlottenburg, the Stadtschloss Eisenach, Klassik in Spandau, the Oberlausitz Chamber Music Festival, and Schloss Kartzow near Potsdam.
