Dear friends of art and music,

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that the Musicstudio and Gallery will be closing its doors for good on 31 March 2027. I would very much have liked to continue running this venue, but the rented premises are needed for other purposes. I am no longer in my twenties myself, which is why starting afresh elsewhere is out of the question for me. However, let me say straight away: I will continue to be available to you as a piano teacher!

I would like to express my sincere thanks to both you and all the artists and musicians for having accompanied me over the past almost 18 years and for the many wonderful moments we have shared together. A very special thank you also goes to my son Johannes, who, with his ideas and hard work, has helped shape the music studio like no other for almost half his life.

I would therefore like to invite you to the following event so that I can say goodbye to you in person:

Saturday, 12 December 2026

14:00 – 18:00 h

at
Musikstudio & Galerie: Gabriele Paqué
Blücherstraße 14
53115 Bonn

The programme is yet to be announced.

By the end of March, the gallery’s and music studio’s websites will be taken offline, as will the associated email addresses through which I have always kept you informed via the newsletter. From then on, you will be able to find me again via my original website, https://paque-klavier.de/.

But every ending is also a new beginning, and whilst my work at the gallery and the concert events are coming to an end, piano lessons will remain a part of my life, and I look forward to many wonderful moments with all my pupils and those who wish to become pupils!

A look back:

On 21 June 2009, I set up my business with the aim of teaching older adults to play the piano; at the time, this made me one of the first instrumental teachers for this age group, and it has formed the foundation of my success ever since. At the same time, it had always been my dream to create a centre for music and the arts, so it was only natural to think of making the beautiful Art Nouveau premises available for concerts and art exhibitions as well. This proved difficult at first, but as my profile grew, the tide turned and I eventually received many offers from both young and established musicians and artists wishing to perform here.

Since I first set up my organisation, I can now look back on a total of 177 concerts and 53 exhibitions, as well as 16 academic lectures, 8 readings and 4 workshops led by professors, with whom I associate many wonderful and also some bittersweet memories.
Among the artists, I would particularly like to thank those who placed their trust in me and allowed me to represent them, including: my friend and artist Otto von Kotzebue, who has sadly since passed away; Antonio Máro; his son Rafael Ramírez Máro; Kirsten Lubach; Alejandro DeCinti; Giovanni Pelliccioli, who has also passed away; Dao Droste, Alina Khrapchynska, with whom I had the privilege of organising her first exhibition in Germany after she was forced to flee Ukraine, her friend Natalia Simonenko, and the artists now based in Bonn: Victor Shtivelberg, Maria Dierker and Milena Kunz Bijno.

And a special thank you to Horst Goetze, who, through the ‘Künstlerkanal’, provided the gallery with invaluable support in the form of wonderful videos and digital 3D tours!
Among the musicians who have shown me such great support and friendship, I would like to mention: Sheila Arnold, Alexander Ramirez, Gesa Lücker, Gerald Hambitzer, Sigrun Stephan, Marieke Spaans, Urte Lucht, Tobias Koch, Ketil Haugsand, the musicians listed below and many others besides, with whom I have been able to experience unforgettable moments of music.

I was also able to share many wonderful moments with my pupils, and alongside my lessons for adults, the music studio was home to Gotthard Kladetzky and Georgy Voylochnikov, as well as other outstanding talents who are no longer working here, such as Knut Hanssen, Lisa Shklyaver and Yizhuo Meng, there were wonderful colleagues, concert performers and friends who offer music lessons for children and young people, amongst others – and, in addition to the piano, some even teach the saxophone and the clarinet.

To all of you, and to all my friends who have loyally supported me throughout, a heartfelt thank you!
