2026/27 – Upcoming Highlights

After a season heavily influenced by international tours and major projects, my musical year 2026/27 will focus even more on combining solo development with demanding ensemble work.

 

The season begins with another collaboration with Vox Luminis: On October 16th, I return to Bruges for Heinrich Schütz's Schwanengesang. At the end of the year, I'm looking forward to Benjamin Britten's St. Nicolas in Dortmund.

 

A particular focus of the season for me is Mozart. Until the beginning of July, I will be intensively engaged with his repertoire in more than half a dozen concerts – including Ferrando's "Un'aura amorosa" from Così fan tutte and the concert aria "Misero! O sogno … Aura, che intorno spiri" KV 431. This continuous work with Mozart's music is a valuable opportunity for me to further refine my skills as a lyric tenor and to explore in depth the unique combination of cantabile, lyrical precision, lightness, and musical agility.

 

The Passiontide brings me to several performances of Bach's St. Matthew Passion. In Arnstadt on March 13th and on Good Friday, March 26th, in Rudolstadt, as well as in other concerts, I will primarily be singing the tenor aria of the second choir. I am also particularly looking forward to my solo debut in Stavanger on March 18th: Under the direction of Shunske Sato, I will be singing in Bach's St. Matthew Passion there together with the Valen Vocal Ensemble and an international ensemble of soloists.

During the same period, two special new collaborations with early music ensembles are on the program. With Polyharmonique, I will be performing early Bach cantatas on Maundy Thursday. I will also be working for the first time with the Amsterdam Baroque Choir under the direction of Ton Koopman – with Mozart's Requiem and the Vesperae solennes de confessore.

 

In addition, the Beethoven Year 2027 will lead me twice to one of the great works of the choral-symphonic repertoire: Beethoven's Missa solemnis. I am looking forward to singing and recording this extraordinary work with the International Bach Academy Stuttgart, as well as with the Zurich Sing-Akademie, the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich, and Paavo Järvi.

Between Mozart and Bach, Schütz and Britten, early music and a large choral-symphonic repertoire, the 2026/27 season offers many new encounters – and above all, space to further develop my soloist profile and at the same time continue ensemble work with long-standing and new musical partners.

I am looking forward to the upcoming season and to meeting you at the concerts.
