We're coming to you LIVE from the Kronberg Academy in Kronberg im Taunus, Germany, for the first concert of Kronberg Academy Young Virtuosi Series, featuring cellist Anouchka Hack. Anouchka has been studying at Kronberg Academy since 2020 with renowned artist Frans Helmerson.

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.

Anouchka's concert, entitled “Morgen!” (Tomorrow!) promises audiences a colorful program of classical concert pieces, spoken word, and popular traditional music. Pianist Katharina Hack, lyricist Artem Zolotarov, and cellists LiLa, Oliver Herbert, Edward Luengo, and Petar Pejčić will join her.
