Sabine Kraut

Sabine Kraut studied violin with Prof. Werner Keltsch at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik darstellende Kunst Stuttgart. Already during her student years she became a member of the orchestra of the Ludwigsburger Schlossfestspiele. The central focus of her interest has always been chamber music, which led to intensive concertizing as a member of various string quartets. Since 2003, she has directed the ensemble “musica viva Stuttgart,” which was founded by W. Keltsch in 1981. The ensemble’s repertoire ranges from chamber orchestra literature to oratorio accompaniment, with particular emphasis on the creation of concert programs involving various chamber music ensembles, from trio through quartet to octet. Sabine Kraut is a lecturer at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik darstellende Kunst Stuttgart; she also teaches abroad in Switzerland, Spain, and China.
