About Musethica:

Musethica is an educational method that combines the development of young musicians with social engagement. Over the course of a week, musicians play concerts in various social institutions: from neighbourhood centres and refugee shelters to hospices, senior residences, clinics and prisons. Musethica concerts are primarily aimed at people who do not have the opportunity to attend a concert due to their life situation. Musethica thus creates performance opportunities and learning spaces for musicians while also promoting social participation. You can find more information at germany.musethica.org.


About Nils Mönkemeyer:

Artistic brilliance and innovative programme design are his trademarks: Nils Mönkemeyer's programmes range from premiere recordings of original viola literature from the 18th century to modern music and his own arrangements. The internationally successful violist has worked with conductors such as Vladimir Jurowski, Joana Mallwitz, Kent Nagano and Simone Young. As a soloist, he performs with renowned orchestras including the London Philharmonic, the Tokyo Symphony and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Teaching and social commitment are also very important to Mönkemeyer: he founded the chamber music festival ‘Klassik für Alle’ with Caritas Bonn and is a tutor at Musethica for the second time. At the end of 2024, he was honoured by the German University Association as University Teacher of the Year.
