Winning first prizes at the “Clara Haskil” and “Geza Anda” international competitions served as a springboard for a successful career leading to engagements as a soloist with renowned orchestras and at illustrious festivals. Her most important mentors were Prof. Karl-Heinz Kämmerling in Hanover and Vlado Perlemuter in Paris. Konstanze Eickhorst performs with renowned orchestras and festivals under the direction of conductors such as Christoph Eschenbach, Andrew Davis, Peter Schneider, Manfred Honeck and Ingo Metzmacher.

 

She discovered her passion for chamber music at a very early age and has been a member of the Linos Ensemble for many years. Several CD recordings exist with Konstanze Eickhorst as soloist or chamber musician. They display a broad repertoire and bear witness to her keenness to discover musical literature that is little known. On the release of the CD recording of the quintet for piano (left hand), clarinet and string trio in A major by Franz Schmidt she and the Linos Ensemble were awarded an ECHO Klassik.

 

At the age of 28 Konstanze Eickhorst was appointed professor at Hannover’s Hochschule and a few years later she extended her teaching to the University for Music in Lübeck. In 2016/2017 she had a guest professorship at the Academy of Music in Krakow. She is passionate about sharing and communicating her wide musical experience. She gives master classes for both piano and chamber music, and appears as a jury member at international competitions.
