CHAMBER MUSIC at the MAX PLACK INSTITUTE FOR EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH
The Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin-Dahlem invites you to the 2025 kick-off concert series on 19 February and starts the next season under the always true and important motto ‘Music educates’.
This time, Slavic winds will blow into the foyer of the research institute. Presented by four selected young musicians, some of whom already have high-calibre careers to their name and will once again enchant the audience.
This place has been magical ever since the chamber concert series began: with its musical proximity and wonderful acoustics, it creates a special atmosphere of professionalism and intimacy.

About the artists:
CHARLOTTE THIELE, born in Dresden in 2000, is one of the most promising violinists of her generation. Her concerts as a soloist have already taken her to the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, the Gewandhaus in Leipzig, the Kulturpalast in Dresden and the Margravial Opera House in Bayreuth. She was recently invited as a guest concertmaster by the Deutsche Oper Berlin, the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra Heilbronn, the Kammerakademie Potsdam, the Dresden Philharmonic and the Stuttgart State Opera.
