Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie & Louis Zhang

In the organizer's words:

Germany's youngest top orchestra and 9-year-old pianist Louis Zhang perform works by J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart and P.I. Tchaikovsky, among others, under the direction of Wolfgang Hentrich

The youngest among them are just eleven years old, at twenty they are already among the "old" here - and yet they are already playing on major international stages and at festivals such as the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein and the Cologne Philharmonie, the Grand Auditorium in Luxembourg and the Alte Oper Frankfurt, at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival and at Young Euro Classic, the festival of the world's best youth orchestras in Berlin.

The orchestra members of the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie (DSP) regularly impress audiences and the specialist press alike with the high quality and excellence of their playing. The youngest national selection orchestra is a winner of the prestigious Würth Prize of Jeunesses Musicales Deutschland and regularly delights audiences with its uniquely differentiated string sound and its collective dedication to music.

The DSP regularly works with outstanding virtuosos, including Julia Fischer, Nils Mönkemeyer and Arthur and Lucas Jussen. Wolfgang Hentrich, first concertmaster of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, has been the artistic director since 2013.

Only nine years old - and already a professional on the keys. Louis Zhang received his first piano lessons from pianist Viera Fischer at the age of four. He regularly takes part in the "Music Holidays at Lake Starnberg", where musically talented children and young people receive particularly intensive support under the patronage of renowned violinist Julia Fischer. He already enjoyed success with the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie last year in Lüdenscheid, North Rhine-Westphalia, and everyone involved is delighted to continue the collaboration this summer with the concert on July 10 in the Schlossberghalle in Starnberg.
