Henriette Gaertner

Who is Henriette Gaertner?

Henriette Gaertner is a German pianist.

The Schneider Book of Records once referred to Henriette Gärtner as "the youngest concert pianist in the world", after she attracted international attention at the International Musical Festival Lucerne as an eight-year-old. Meanwhile Henriette Gärtner enjoys excellent repute on the international stage.

Henriette's musical talent became apparent at an unusual early age; she began playing the piano already as a three-year-old, and just two years later she gave her first major concert in Stuttgart. In the following years, Henriette Gärtner won a series of piano competitions, lastly the International Master Players Competition in Swiss Lugano, whereupon an associated concert tour of the USA followed. She supplemented her artistic training with master courses taught by renowned maestros like Rudolf Buchbinder, Viktor Merzhanov, Christian Zacharias, Peter Feuchtwanger and Karl-Heinz Kämmerling.

Since that time a vigorous concert activity has followed, which led Henriette Gärtner to the musical centers of Europe. Added to that were further invitations from renowned orchestras under conductors such as Karl Münchinger, Rudolf Baumgartner, Petr Altrichter, Thomas Kalb, Richard Schumacher, Thomas Koncz, Howard Griffiths, Elyakum Shapirra, Gerd Albrecht and Edmond de Stoutz.
