Virtuosity, experience, and an open audience experience
Bernd Glemser is among the defining German pianists and university lecturers. The Würzburg University of Music describes him as an artist with an extraordinary range of repertoire from Baroque to modern, a winner of 17 consecutive competitions and special prizes, as well as a prizewinner of, among others, the Andor Foldes Prize, the European Pianist Prize, and the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. This mix of competitive experience, teaching practice, and concert authority also shapes the public master class in Bayreuth.

A festival for fine ears and great excitement
The Virtuoso Amateurs brings a format to the stage that has a fixed name in Europe: amateur pianists get performance opportunities in places where they are rarely heard otherwise. In Bayreuth, this creates a special event atmosphere between concentrated silence, exciting rehearsal situations, and genuine audience mood. The public master class with Prof. Glemser lasts about two hours according to the event information and takes place on two concert grand pianos.

The chamber music hall as an appropriate setting
The chamber music hall in the Steingraeber House is located at Friedrichstraße 2 in 95444 Bayreuth. The city’s event overview names the room as barrier-free and accessible via elevator; the chamber music hall is specified to accommodate 80 people plus potentially up to 20 folding chairs. This makes the location ideal for a compact, intense event experience with clear proximity between stage and audience.
