Camilla Köhnken

Pianist and independent researcher

Camilla Köhnken studied piano performance with Pierre-Laurent Aimard (Cologne), Jerome Rose (New York), and Claudio Martínez Mehner (Basel). In 2018, she completed a doctorate on the interpretation strategies of Liszt’s students at the University of Bern working in Kai Köpp’s research project on instructive editions (2014–18). From there she went on to focus on Romantic period instruments during her postdoc in Tom Beghin’s group Declassifying the Classics at the Orpheus Instituut (2019–22). Since 2023, she has lived in Vienna, splitting her time between researching, teaching, and performing, for example as pianist-in-residence at the Beethoven-Haus Bonn or with the Philon Trio. https://camilla-piano.com/
