German Youth Musicians Win Top Honors at Jugend Musiziert and Carl‑Schroeder Competitions

Students from the Musikschule Möckmühl in Baden‑Württemberg achieved first‑place results at the state “Jugend musiziert” competition, earning spots in the upcoming federal contest. Highlights include soprano Polina Horobets, pianist Franziska Harms and soprano Lea Haiml, each receiving 25 points and first‑prize awards that qualify them for the 2026 Bundeswettbewerb in Munich and Regensburg.

In Thuringia, eleven‑year‑old pianist Anna Glöckner of Eisenach earned a “mit sehr gutem Erfolg” distinction at the nationwide Carl‑Schroeder competition in Sondershausen. She performed a Bach prelude, Mozart variations and Bohuslav Martinů’s “Columbine tanzt,” representing the Musikschule des Wartburgkreises Johann Sebastian Bach. Her success follows previous accolades at “Jugend musiziert” and the Bernhard‑Stavenhagen competition, reflecting sustained dedication and instruction from her teacher Julia Ehrlich.
