Lotus Ensemble Frankfurt
The Lotus Ensemble Frankfurt was founded in 2024 at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts. At the International Telemann Competition Magdeburg 2025, the ensemble was awarded the Audience Prize, the Bärenreiter Urtext Prize, and the Special Prize of the Kleine Kammermusik.
The internationally formed ensemble, consisting of Andreas Stöger and Sebastian Schmidt (recorders), Moeko Aiba (baroque cello), and Haeun Cho (harpsichord), is dedicated to Baroque chamber music. The ensemble is a prize winner of the Polytechnical Competition at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts and performs nationally and internationally.
Concerto Frankfurt
The Baroque ensemble Concerto Frankfurt is a chamber music ensemble distinguished by its unique instrumentation and musicality. In a small orchestral formation, Sebastian Schmidt (recorder), Antonello Cola (oboe), Rebecca Raimondi (violin), David Neuhaus (cello), and Ilhae Kim (harpsichord) come together to form a harmonious ensemble sound, combining the distinctive timbres of wind and string instruments.
Thanks to its flexible instrumentation, Concerto Frankfurt is characterised by exceptional versatility: from performances in full ensemble formation to quartet and trio settings, as well as solo appearances, the ensemble offers a wide range of musical variety.
