<a</span>>After Felix Mendelssohn left his parental home in Berlin in 1829, his sister Fanny, who was married to the court painter Wilhelm Hensel, took over the organisation of the family’s salon with its famous Sunday concerts. This was the only place where music lovers could hear her compositions, as for many years her professional ambitions were thwarted by her family. It was not until 1846 that Felix gave his blessing for his sister’s music to be published. Her last major work is the Piano Trio in D minor from 1847. Until recently, Fanny’s compositional talents remained more or less forgotten. Indeed, it was only at the very end of the 20th century that her work was systematically reviewed and edited for public performance.

Anke Heyn
Anke Heyn studied with Martin Ostertag in Karlsruhe and Jens Peter Maintz in Berlin. After working as a solo cellist, she has been a permanent member of the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden since April 2006, having previously been engaged as solo cellist in the Ensemble Oriol Berlin/Kammerakademie Potsdam.
She has received awards and prizes at competitions including Jugend musiziert, the Tonkünstlerwettbewerb and the Alice Samter Chamber Music Competition in Berlin, and was a finalist at the German Music Competition in Bonn. She has also received scholarships from the Jürgen Ponto Foundation, Villa musica and the Baden-Württemberg State Collection for String Instruments.
She has performed with the German National Youth Orchestra, the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival Orchestra and the European Union Youth Orchestra. After completing an internship with the SWR Symphony Orchestra Baden-Baden/Freiburg, she had a temporary contract with the Munich Philharmonic and was a frequent substitute with the DSO Berlin, the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra.
In addition to her work in the orchestra, her great love is chamber music: as a member of the Ensemble Bento, she can also be heard in various other formations and is always on the lookout for new sound experiences.
Paul Rivinius
Pianist Paul Rivinius, born in 1970, received his first piano lessons at the age of five. His teachers were first Gustaf Grosch in Munich, later Alexander Sellier, Walter Blankenheim and Nerine Barrett at the Musikhochschule in Saarbrücken. After graduating from high school he also studied horn with Marie-Luise Neunecker at the Frankfurt Musikhochschule and continued his piano studies with Raymund Havenith. In 1994 he was accepted into Gerhard Oppitz’s master class at the Musikhochschule in Munich, which he completed with honours in 1998. Paul Rivinius was for a long time member of the Bundesjugendorchester and the Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra. As a chamber musician, he won several prizes with the Clemente Trio, founded in 1986, for example at the renowned ARD Music Competition in Munich in 1998 and subsequently performed as the »Rising Star« ensemble in the world’s ten most important concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in New York and Wigmore Hall in London.
