In 2003, eight students founded the Kölner Klassik Ensemble at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne. Today – over 20 years later – this ensemble has developed into one of the leading collectives for classical chamber music in North Rhine-Westphalia. The Kölner Klassik Ensemble is performing for the first time at the Alpirsbacher Kreuzgangkonzerte.

The Cologne native Tobias Kassung is considered one of the outstanding German guitarists and a boundary-crosser in his field. As a composer, he opens up new paths for the guitar in the realm of chamber music. Since 2020, Tobias Kassung has been the artistic director of the renowned series kammerkonzerte.koeln. He studied at the Hochschule für Musik in Cologne, as well as at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles. In 2003, he founded the Kölner Klassik Ensemble, of which he has been the artistic director ever since. Since then, he has developed numerous chamber music projects: the Astor Trio, various duos, quartet, and quintet formations.
