Currently, she is the dean of the Munich University of Music and the music director of the Lee Mi-kyung International Music Academy (MIMA), founded in 2023.
Violist Roland Glassl is the first German to win the Lionel Tertis International Viola Competition. He was a member of the Mandelring Quartet, recognized as one of the world's finest string quartets. He has performed at major venues such as Wigmore Hall in London and the Berlin Philharmonic and is currently a full professor at the Munich University of Music.

In the first part of the concert, MIMA Ensemble Munich will perform two string trios: Beethoven's String Trio No. 2 and Dohn?nyi's Serenade for String Trio. Beethoven's String Trio No. 2 is considered one of Beethoven's finest early chamber works, notable for its dramatic structure and bold transitions characteristic of Beethoven.
In the second part, Schumann's 'Piano Quartet' will be performed. Completed in 1842, known as Schumann's 'Year of Chamber Music,' this piece features a leading piano melody intertwined with romantic dialogues among the string instruments.
