With its “Schubert & more” series, the Konzertleben association aims to explore the world of Franz Schubert through this year’s support program for young musicians. His musical roots, as well as the composers of his time and those who carried on his musical legacy. Schubert’s music forms the centerpiece of the program at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development. In keeping with the genius loci, the event is once again held under the motto “Music Educates.”

This time, Schubert is placed in relation to two significant composers of his generation: Ludwig van Beethoven, whose artistic personality was an important source of inspiration for Schubert, and Carl Maria von Weber, who played a decisive role in shaping the Romantic musical language with his music.

The result is a musical arc spanning from the late Classical period to the early Romantic era.

The focus is on various facets of Schubert’s music: the song-like poetry of the variations on “Trockne Blumen” as well as the dramatic intensity of the Piano Sonata in A minor.

A special focus at the end of the program is on Carl Maria von Weber, whose 200th death anniversary will be in 2026. His trio, featuring the richly textured combination of flute, cello, and piano is among the most beautiful chamber music works of its time and allows Weber’s romantic imagination and virtuosity to shine through in a sparkling, luminous way—a spirited and poetic conclusion to the concert.
