In 2006, Hohenstaufen, Stuttgart, was host to a new chamber music festival. Created and artistically directed by Gwendolyn Masin and Rahel Maria Rilling, the occasion brought together both internationally renowned artists and rising stars. After the success of its first edition, the festival took place again in 2007 to sold-out venues. The impact of the festival has been such that in 2009, by invitation, the festival will take place for the first time in Switzerland. Visit
Gaia Chamber Music Festival to find out more.
Gwendolyn is founder and artistic director of the on-going project entitled
In Search of Lost Time. The performances to be held under the ideal of this project, will present music and literature as equal partners, highlighting how the two arts have inspired and influenced each other.
