The Henselt Society

 

After several meetings beginning in 1989, the International Henselt Society was established in Schwabach, Germany in 2002 for the purpose of propagating, documenting and publishing information about the music and activities of Adolph von Henselt. (1814-1889) Members are drawn from Germany, England, America, Russia, Poland and any countries that have people interested in presenting papers or performances on the music and study of Henselt. There is a biannual meeting of Henselt enthusiasts, where an exchange of ideas and new discoveries of original letters, portraits, and transcriptions are discussed. Various institutions also contribute copies of letters and additional information for discussion. This is accompanied by musical performances, master classes and socialising. It generally takes place over a weekend, to accommodate working and teaching schedules, and members and guests stay in a local hotel where lively conversation and further discussions take place over breakfast and evening meals. The email address for the Henselt Society is info@henseltsociety.org
