Henriette's musical talent became apparent at an unusual early age; she began playing the piano already as a three-year-old, and just two years later she gave her first major concert in Stuttgart.
She supplemented her artistic training with master courses taught by renowned maestros like Rudolf Buchbinder, Viktor Merzhanov, Christian Zacharias, Peter Feuchtwanger and Karl-Heinz Kämmerling.
Since that time a vigorous concert activity has followed, which led Henriette Gärtner to the musical centers of Europe.
Added to that were further invitations from renowned orchestras under conductors such as Karl Münchinger, Rudolf Baumgartner, Petr Altrichter, Thomas Kalb, Richard Schumacher, Thomas Koncz, Howard Griffiths, Elyakum Shapirra, Gerd Albrecht and Edmond de Stoutz.
From 2001 until 2005 Henriette Gärtner studied at the "Incontri col Maestro" in Imola with Leonid Margarius, pupil of Vladimir Horowitz' sister Regina.
