Classical concerts featuring
lautten compagney BERLIN

For many years, Carl Heinrich Graun's "The Death of Jesus" was a staple of Berlin's concert life, performed nearly continuously during Easter since its 1755 premiere. By the late 19th century, Bach's Passions eclipsed Graun's oratorio, leading to its obscurity. This Sophienkirche concert, part of the 2025 Easter Festival, offers a rediscovery of this forgotten masterpiece.

Rolando Villazón (Tenor), lautten compagney BERLIN

»My soul must sing itself happy,« says tenor Rolando Villazón. He is one of the leading artists of our time and inspires audiences around the world with uniquely captivating performances full of energy and dedication. There is no city in the world that he has not yet sung in, no festival at which he has not been a star guest. Rolando Villazón is not only a gifted world tenor, director and head of the Salzburger Mozartwoche, but also a cultural ambassador for Mexico, caricaturist, novelist and presenter. He recently delighted ProArte audiences with his Latin American song recital alongside harpist Xavier de Maistre. He now returns to ProArte’s »Great Voices« series with the period ensemble lautten compagney BERLIN: together they take us on a moving musical journey into the world of Claudio Monteverdi and his subtle compositional miniatures from 17th century Venice.
