Yorck Kronenberg is a German pianist, composer, and author born in 1973 in Reutlingen. He received his early piano training in Stuttgart and later studied piano with Konrad Elser and composition with Friedhelm Döhl in Lübeck. Kronenberg has earned recognition in competitions such as “Jugend musiziert” and the international Johann Sebastian Bach Competition, where he won first prize in 1998. As a composer and performer, he has presented works at venues including Columbia University and collaborated with ensembles such as Ensemble Neue Musik Lübeck, as well as orchestras like the SWR Rundfunkorchester Kaiserslautern. Beyond music, he is also a novelist, with published literary works noted for their reflective and evocative style.

Christoph Seybold is a German violinist who began studying the instrument at the age of four and quickly gained early recognition through national competitions such as “Jugend musiziert” and television appearances with SWR. He continued his training with Wolfgang Marschner before undertaking advanced studies at the Cologne University of Music and the University of Music and Drama Hanover, working with prominent teachers including Zakhar Bron and Jens Ellermann, and receiving further artistic guidance from Ida Haendel, Georgy Pauk, and Victor Danchenko. Seybold has performed widely across Europe, as well as in Japan and the United States, appearing in major concert halls such as the Berlin Schauspielhaus, Munich’s Herkulessaal, and Hamburg’s Laeiszhalle. He performs on a 1725 Antonio Stradivari violin known as the “da Vinci.”
