Info for Das Jahr, H-U 385

Pianist Sophia Weidemann and actress Tinka Kleffner present a musical-literary encounter with the exceptional composer Fanny Hensel in their new GENUIN album, "Das Jahr" (The Year). The album includes a remarkable piano cycle along with letters and diary entries to and by Hensel. Through their interpretation, these two highly acclaimed artists offer a highlevel, intimate glimpse into the life and work of one of the most significant 19th-century female composers and enlightened thinkers, Fanny Hensel. Hensel's piano cycle covers a whole year, and the chosen and thoughtfully read excerpts mirror the emotionally rich and skillfully constructed music in the most delightful way!

Sophia Weidemann
Born in Filderstadt in 1994, pianist Sophia Weidemann began her musical training on the piano when she was ten years old. Just five years later, she became a junior student at the Stuttgart University of Music and Performing Arts in the class of Florian Wiek. She completed her bachelor’s and master’s studies with top grades at the State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart, the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna, and the Latvian Academy of Music Jāzeps Vītols in Riga.

In 2020, she was accepted for the school’s postgraduate concert exam, a program designed to train highly talented students, in which Péter Nagy and Florian Wiek mentored her.

In January 2023, she played the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach in the first part of her final examinations. The commission awarded her the mark “passed with distinction” for her interpretation. She received further vital impulses for her artistic work from Alfred Brendel, Till Fellner, Mikhail Voskresensky, and Ian Fountain, among others.

She is a multiple prizewinner of national and international competitions. With her chamber music ensemble Kyklos Chambers, she won first prize at the Virtuoso & Belcanto Festival in Italy in the summer of 2022. As a soloist, she won first prizes at the International Piano Competition “Alexander Scriabin” (2019) and at the International Bartók Piano Competition (2015). She is a scholarship holder of Live Music Now, the Lyceum- Club, the Jürgen and Helga Drews Foundation and Jeunesses Musicales Germany e. V..
