A royal venue for royal laureates: In the White Hall of the New Palace, the Wolfgang Carl Friedrich Grosse & Renate Elly Wald Foundation is launching a new concert series with the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra. The centerpiece of these foundation concerts will be a solo concert in which a newly crowned prizewinner of the Concours Reine Elisabeth will perform. The traditional music competition aims to offer top talent a setting with high artistic standards and represents a major step for the finalists in fulfilling their lifelong dream of performing on the world's best stages. The new concert series gets off to a glittering start with Bach, Mozart, Brahms and the first prizewinner in 2025: Nikola Meeuwsen.
