Cherry Blossom-Filled Evening
On June 18, 2023, at 6 pm, the Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss will host a captivating concert at the Zeughaus Neuss, featuring renowned pianist Matthias Kirschnereit. The programme promises an enchanting blend of works by Mozart, Handel, and Beethoven.
Matthias Kirschnereit, a pianist of international acclaim, has been a professor at the Rostock University of Music and Theatre since 1997 and gives master classes worldwide. Born in Westphalia and raised in the Namibian desert, Kirschnereit studied at the Musikhochschule Detmold. He has won numerous prestigious awards, including the German Music Competition, the International Concours Géza Anda, and the International Australian Piano Competition in Sydney.
The concert will feature a modern interpretation of Handel's organ concertos by Kirschnereit, a performance that has been praised by the expert community and received enthusiastically by audiences. However, no direct search results specifically address this modern version of Handel's organ concertos, including detailed reception or reviews of such a project.
Kirschnereit's recent recording of Georg Friderich Händel’s 6 Piano Concertos, Op. 7, with the Deutsche Kammerakademie Neuss under Lavard Skou Larsen, released in June 2025, demonstrates his engagement with Handel’s keyboard concertos in a piano concerto format but not specifically organ concertos or a modern version thereof.
The concert will also include Mozart's Six German Dances KV 571 and Beethoven's second symphony in D major op. 36. An introduction to the concert will be given by Dr. Matthias Corvin at 5:15 pm. Tickets can be acquired via the ticket hotline at 02131-5269 9999, online at www.deutsche-kammerakademie.de, or at usual box offices.
Kirschnert has had long-term contacts with several renowned pianists, including Claudio Arrau, Bruno Leonardo Gelber, Oleg Maisenberg, and Murray Perahia. The concert will be under the musical direction of Isabelle van Keulen. The venue for the concert is Markt 43-44, 41460 Neuss.
For those interested in critical reception or reviews of Kirschnereit's modern adaptation of Handel's organ concertos once it becomes available, monitoring classical music review sites and specialized music journals would be advisable. As of now, the available public record does not contain detailed commentary or critiques on this specific work by Kirschnereit.
