An evening full of string magic at the Munich Violin Days

On Wednesday, May 13, 2026, VIOLINISSIMO marks a chamber music highlight at the 8th Munich Violin Days in the Bavarian National Museum. In the Mars-Venus Hall, historical splendor meets vibrant string energy: an evening of classical sound culture, youthful precision, and a special instrument dramaturgy.

Vivaldi, Elgar, Büsel: a program with character

The program features A. Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, E. Elgar's String Serenade, and C. Büsel's CYCLE (2025). This concert spans a bridge from baroque natural painting to late romantic warmth and contemporary sound language. This mix is precisely what gives the performance its unique tension: familiar masterpieces, newly interpreted by an ensemble that works with focus, intonation, and ensemble spirit.

An orchestra that plays without a conductor

The youth chamber orchestra VIOLINISSIMO was founded in 2004 by violinist Ulli Büsel in Erding and traditionally performs without a conductor. This method requires maximum attention, synchronization, and deep listening to the musical line. The intensity that has characterized the ensemble for years arises from this: not just playing together, but creating together. The result is a concert experience with a palpable live atmosphere, clear contours, and emotional presence.

When instruments become part of the staging

Especially enticing: VIOLINISSIMO plays on instruments and with bows from the Munich Violin Days exhibition. During the concert, instruments and bows will be changed, allowing the audience not only to hear the music but also to experience differences in tone color, response, and articulation directly. This creates a rare experience for classical music lovers and the curious, situated between concert, showcase, and lively music history.

The Mars-Venus Hall as a sound space

The Mars-Venus Hall in the Bavarian National Museum, with its neo-Gothic architecture, provides a representative setting for concerts. According to the museum, the hall is suitable for concerts, lectures, presentations, and receptions; weather permitting, the adjacent cannon courtyard can also be used. The address on Prinzregentenstraße, its good accessibility, and the barrier-free access make this venue additionally attractive for concert attendance in Munich.

An ensemble with an impressive track record

VIOLINISSIMO can point to numerous awards and guest performances, including victories at the Bavarian and German Orchestra Competition, the Rotary Music Prize, successes at Summa Cum Laude in Vienna, as well as concerts at the Vienna Concert Hall, the Mozarteum Salzburg, and even at Carnegie Hall in New York. This artistic career shows that behind the name is not a fleeting project, but an ensemble with a developed profile and audible stage routine.

Conclusion: A classical evening with aura and substance

Those looking for a concert evening in Munich with technical finesse, a special sound idea, and historical ambiance will find a strong date at Concert 4 - Violinissimo. Between string poetry, precise interplay, and the atmosphere of the Bavarian National Museum, an evening emerges that classical music enthusiasts should experience live.
