The Freitags Akademie: Chamber Music by Johann Gottlieb Janitsch and his closest colleagues.
In 1736, with permission from Frederick the Great, the violist Johann Gottlieb Janitsch founded the Freitags Akademie a salon series in Janitsch’s home in which professionals and amateurs would gather and play for each other. Performers and composers included many of the best musicians at the Court of Frederick the Great.
