Robert Lis

Robert Lis, geboren in Dabrowa Gornicza, Polen, begann mit 6 Jahren Geige zu spielen. Er ist einer der talentiertesten polnischen Geiger seiner Generation und Preisträger vieler nationaler und internationaler Geigenwettbewerbe. 2011 schloss er die Ignacy Paderewski Musikakademie in Poznan als Student von Prof. Dr. Marcin Baranowski mit Auszeichnung ab. 2012 erwarb er als Schüler von Ilya Grubert seinen zweiten Master-Abschluss am Conservatorium van Amsterdam. In den Jahren 2010 bis 2012 war er assistierender Leiter der 2. Violinen in der Radio Kamer Filharmonie und von 2012 bis 2018 Zweiter Konzertmeister im Nederlands Philharmonisch Orkest und seit 2018 Zweiter Konzertmeister der Sächsischen Staatskapelle Dresden. Robert Lis spielt eine Pietro-Floriani-Violine von 1835.

Yuki Manuela Janke

Born into a family of musicians in Munich, her career began at an early age. Her breakthrough came at the latest with numerous prizes at the Sarasate, Paganini and Tchaikovsky competitions, which quickly took her to the world's most important stages as a soloist. As a soloist and chamber musician, Yuki Manuela Janke also inspires as concertmaster of the most traditional orchestras. Her interpretation of Richard Strauss' "Heldenleben" in the Golden Hall in Vienna with the Staatskapelle Dresden and Christian Thielemann attracted particular attention.
As concertmaster of the Staatskapelle Berlin, she enjoys the trust of conductors such as Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta. She is a regular guest with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and various orchestras abroad. She received her most important musical impulses from Igor Ozim at the Mozarteum Salzburg and through chamber music collaborations with Christoph Eschenbach, Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt, the Hagen Quartet and the Tokyo String Quartet. Her broad repertoire ranges from baroque and romantic music to contemporary composers such as Jörg Widmann, Wolfgang Rihm, Krzysztof Meyer, Nicolas Bacri and Markus Schmitt. Her repertoire also includes forgotten works such as Franz Clement's Violin Concerto, which Janke recorded with Reinhard Goebel and the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra. She plays on a violin by Robert König & Michael Betcher.

Florian Richter

Florian Richter got his first lessons for violin at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater »Felix Mendelsson Bartholdy« in Leipzig with Professor Klaus Hertel. In 2000 he changed to the viola and one year later he moved at the music high school »Schloss Belvedere« in Weimar in the class of Professor Erich Krüger.

He studied at the »Hochschule für Franz Liszt Weimar« as a multiple Federal Prize winner of »Jugend Musiziert« with Professor Ditter Leser and Professor Erich Krüger and completed his education with the concert exam.
