Duo Kronberger
The german violinists Sabine and Janina Kronberger are rated among the most sophisticated and exciting musicians of their generation. Growing up together, they have played together ever since they were children. After winning several national and international chamber music competitions at a very young age, their Violin Duo was invited to play concerts all across Europe. Their repertoire includes almost everything written for two violins from early baroque-music all the way to contemporary music. In their concerts they also regularly perform arrangements, mostly of works which are well-known and originally written for bigger instrumentation or pianoforte.
Together they founded the chamber music festival “Kammermusikfestival Markgräflerland”, which will take place in July 2025, for the first time. More info: kammermusikfestival-markgraeflerland.de
