Young virtuosity in the chamber music hall: Louisa Staples and Boris Kusnezow in Bonn

On Sunday, June 14, 2026, one of the most exciting violinists of her generation meets one of the most sought-after chamber music partners in Europe at the Beethoven House Bonn: Louisa Staples and Boris Kusnezow will perform at 6:00 PM in the chamber music hall, promising great melodic arcs, fine chamber music coordination, and a concentrated live atmosphere.

A program with musical tension

The program features Franz Schubert's Rondo brillant in B minor D 895, César Franck's Violin Sonata in A major, and Sergei Prokofiev's Five Melodies Op. 35a. This dramaturgy combines romantic elegance, heartfelt sound language, and colorful modernity into a concert experience with a clear line and emotional depth. Exactly here lies the strength of this duo: precise ensemble playing, breathing phrasing, and a dialogue that makes every motivic twist audible.

Louisa Staples: young violinist with international stature
