Master Class: Paul Hindemith - Sonatas and Chamber Music
Tabea Zimmermann, Viola, Chamber Music
Pauline Sachse, Viola, Chamber Music
Thomas Hoppe, Piano
Tabea Zimmermann, the renowned violist and pedagogue, has made it her goal to work with students on a selection of Hindemith's works during a one-week master class. Many of them have been established as classics of the repertoire for a long time; some are precious finds that are worth discovering. Tabea Zimmermann will be supported by Pauline Sachse, now Prof. in Dresden, and Thomas Hoppe, her piano partner of many years' standing.
The master class will be held at the Hindemith Music Centre, Blonay, on Lake Geneva where the composer spent the final years of his life.
