The young pianist’s versatility ranges from Solo Concerto to Chamber Music, Lied and New Music. In all musical genres she is searching for richness of color, multi-layered emotions and transparency in her interpretations. She recently performed as a soloist at the Bluval Festival as part of the series “Beethoven – all piano concertos” alongside artists such as Prof. Gerold Huber and Prof. Markus Bellheim.

For several years she has devoted herself intensively to Lied accompaniment and chamber music.

Influences from Brigitte Fassbaender (Schubertiade Schwarzenberg), Ian Bostridge, Julian Prégardien and Patrick Gallois (Pablo Casals Festival) shape her musical style. In the process, she won the special prize for the interpretation of songs by Gustav Mahler at the Anton Rubinstein Competition with baritone Carl Rumstadt. In 2022, she debuted with Julie Catherine Eggli at the Swiss Chamber Concerts in Geneva, opening for Benjamin Appl. With her duo partner Jonas Müller (baritone), she regularly gives concerts throughout Germany and will make her debut at the Konzerthaus Berlin and the Schubertíada Vilabertran this year.

In the field of chamber music, she recently received a 2nd prize at Harald Genzmer Competition, 3rd prize at Rudolf Barshai International String Competition and a 1st prize at Wolfgang Fischer and Maria Fischer Flach Prize together with violinist Nathalie Schmalhofer.

With the theater group La Fura dels Baus, she performed Orff’s Carmina Burana (in the version for two pianos and percussion) in front of more than 10,000 people for the anniversary of Tollwood Festival in Munich. She is also active in the field of New Music. In addition, she was an artist at Munich Biennale in a production by conductor Johannes X. Schachtner, which was accompanied and broadcast with video and sound recordings by BR.

In 2015, her hometown Straubing awarded her with the Kulturförderpreis. She is a multiple recipient of the Deutschlandstipendium and is supported as a scholarship holder by Yehudi Menuhin Live music now München e.V.. She is also a member of Rhapsody in School where she regularly gives talks and concerts in schools. Since the winter semester of 2020, she has held a teaching position for accompaniment at the Leopold Mozart Center of the University of Augsburg.

Anna Gebhardt received her first piano lessons at the age of five.

In 2009 she won the 1st prize in the national competition Jugend musiziert in organ and the 1st prize in the Geschwister-König Wettbewerb in flute. However, in 2011 she decided to take up the piano as her main instrument and one year later she was accepted to the Junior Studies Program at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich. From 2013 to 2018, she studied there in two courses: both piano with Prof. Silke Avenhaus and school music. Since 2018, she has continued her piano studies with Prof. Bernd Glemser in Würzburg, alongside Lied studies with Prof. Christian Gerhaher, Prof. Gerold Huber and Prof. Fritz Schwinghammer in Munich.

Jonas Müller &
Anna Gebhardt

Baritone & Piano

Jonas Müller and Anna Gebhardt share a passion for lyric poetry and the classical song repertoire from Schubert to New Music. They met while studying together at Hochschule für Musik in Würzburg and have formed a permanent duo since October 2020. Currently, both are studying at University of Music and Performing Arts Munich, where they are coached by Prof. Christian Gerhaher, Prof. Gerold Huber and Tobias Truniger.

Their joint work has already led the two to Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, where they were invited to take part in a master class with Brigitte Fassbaender. In addition, they have been scholarship holders at Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now München e.V. and give concerts at schools as part of the Rhapsody in School initiative. In June 2022, they will make their debut at Konzerthaus Berlin.

Anna Gebhardt &
Nathalie Schmalhofer

Violin & Piano

In search of musical freshness and passion, the award-winning duo – consisting of Nathalie Schmalhofer and Anna Gebhardt – has developed a wide-ranging repertoire. They have formed a permanent duo since studying together at Hochschule für Musik in Würzburg. They are coached by Prof. Denise Benda, Prof. Bernd Glemser and Prof. Herwig Zack. Within a few months they won prizes at several competitions, including 2nd prize at Harald Genzmer Competition in Munich and 1st prize at Wolfgang Fischer and Maria Fischer Flach Prize. Furthermore, they are scholarship holders at Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now Franken e.V. and performed at Toscana Hall of the Residence in Würzburg.

Anna-Lena Elbert &
Anna Gebhardt

Soprano & Piano

In addition to the classical song repertoire, the duo is united by a passion for the unknown.

In search of the boundaries of classical music, the duo does not shy away from contemporary compositions, crossover or interdisciplinary art projects.

Moreover, the dissemination of compositions and texts by women and ostracized artists is especially close to their hearts. The two musicians aim to enable the audience and themselves to rediscover classical music.
