The latest album by Lena Kravets & Tobias Kassung was released in autumn 2023: "La lumière du sud - the light of the south". It is dedicated entirely to the masters of French music. The vastness of the French coast, the high, blue sky and the special light have always inspired French artists to create special works of art. In music, too, lightness merges with southern flair and the French way of life.

Portrait
The Cologne Classical Ensemble is one of the leading collectives for classical chamber music in North Rhine-Westphalia. Ten musical personalities from North Rhine-Westphalia have come together under the umbrella of the Kölner Klassik Ensemble e.V. The cooperation between the musicians is based on artistic appreciation as well as friendship and collegial solidarity over many years. They are united by the desire to develop demanding music - without external restrictions and only committed to musical quality.
