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 Hans Christian Aavik. For this concert, entitled Simplicity, Reimagined, Hans is joined by pianist Karolina Aavik, violist Haesue Lee, and cellist Bryan Cheng.

Hans Christian Aavik will also perform on Thursday, September 25 at 6:30 PM at this year's Kronberg Festival with Tabea Zimmermann.

On Wednesdays, 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.
