The 1984 Frankfurt-born singer received his musical education with the Limburg Cathedral Choir and at the Conservatory of Freiburg. The young tenor has received a lot of attention particularly for his interpretations of J.S. Bach’s Evangelist roles.

Among his numerous acclaimed appearances in the course of the 2015/2016 season, Julian Prégardien’s rendition of Hylas in ›Les Troyens‹ (Berlioz) caused a sensation at the opening night of the Hamburg Staatsoper under the baton of Kent Nagano. In July 2017, the young tenor will give his debut performance at Bayerische Staatsoper in Munich in the title role of Carl Maria von Weber’s Oberon.

Concert appearances during the 2016/17 season will include concerts with Bach’s St Matthew Passion with René Jacobs, Haydn’s Lord Nelson Mass with András Schiff and Handel arias with Berlin’s Akademie für Alte Musik. He will return to the Salzburger Festspiele with Ádám Fischer.

At Dresden Musikfestspiele and other venues, Julian is scheduled to appear in a special Monteverdi project along with his father Christoph Prégardien and Anima Eterna Brugge conducted by Jos van Immerseel.

Julian Prégardien is also one of the renowned soloists featured in a major project co-hosted by the Schubertiade in Hohenems/Schwarzenberg (Austria) and by London Wigmore Hall, consisting in the complete performance of all Schubert lieder in a series of recitals held between 2015 and 2017.

The Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra owes her international breakthrough to her rousing concerts and her commitment to music by Latin American composers. She is the official cultural ambassador of her homeland Mexico and to date has conducted over one hundred of the world’s most renowned orchestras, including the Orchestre de Paris, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bamberg Symphoniker and the Tonhalle Orchester Zürich. Between 2017 and 2019, Alondra de la Parra was also General Music Director of the Queensland Symphony Orchestra, making her the first ever female chief conductor of an Australian orchestra.

She became known to a wide audience due to her many live concert broadcasts and appearances, in particular through the web and television editions of the Deutsche Welle’s ›Musica Maestra‹ in which Alondra de la Parra was not only a protagonist but also appeared as the reporter. In the 2019/20 season, the concert she conducted in the Frauenkirche with the Staatskapelle Dresden was broadcast on ZDF, as indeed was her celebrated return to the Orchestre de Paris, which was broadcast live on ARTE. Further highlights of the last season include a world premiere of the new production about Carlus Padrissa – T.H.A.M.O.S. – at the Salzburg Mozart Week, together with the Camerata Salzburg and the Catalan theatre group La Fura dels Baus, as well as her debut at the Easter Festival in Aix-ex-Provence.

This artist has enjoyed a close and regular working relationship with the Deutsche Kammer­philharmonie Bremen for many years.
