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 pianist Itai Navon. For this concert, Itai is joined by violinist Elias David Moncado, violist Wassili Wohlgemuth and cellist Anouchka Hack.
A student of Sir András Schiff at the Kronberg Academy, pianist and chamber musician Itai Navon regularly performs across Europe and has appeared in concert halls including Konzerthaus Berlin, the Pierre Boulez Saal, Beethovenhaus Bonn and Wigmore Hall. He has previously soloed with the Israel Camerata and the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra and at music festivals such as Sommets Musicaux de Gstaad, Ruhr Piano Festival and Aspen Music Festival.
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.
