The performers included the violin duo Valentin Franz and Lennard Cornelissen, accompanied by their teacher Gertrudis Leson, as well as the oboe duo Yumiko Bartz and Helene Kreuser from Britta Kurek’s class.
The oboe duo was awarded the 2026 NRW Youth Chamber Music Promotion Prize by the jury and is thus one of the prize-winning ensembles of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Yumiko, Helene, Valentin, and Lennard on their outstanding achievements. Special congratulations also go to teachers Britta Kurek and Gertrudis Leson, who have guided their students on this musical journey.
