Chamber Academy Potsdam: season 2025/26 with Haydn and new talents!

The Kammerakademie Potsdam announces an exciting new season! The artistic director François Leleux, a well -known conductor and Oboist, took over the rudder in 2025/26 and brings a breath of fresh air to the musical life of the region. The coming season is devoted to Joseph Haydn's legacy, one of the most important composers in classical music, and is described as "homage to one of the greatest". [Concerti.de] (https://www.concerti.de/pielzeitlucht/herzlichtlich-will ,-zur-fiens-2025-26-Kammerakademie-Potsdam/) reports that the music of Haydn, which is known for its spontaneity and humor, is the focus of the programs.

The Chamber Academy is planning a “laboratory” of musical experiences for this season. Leleux is known for breaking new ground and creating the ensemble in a creative way. This can be seen not only in the choice of the works, but also in the selection of artists, including talented musicians such as Antje Weithaas, Lisa Batashvili and Rolando Villazón. Kammerakademie-potsdam.de emphasizes that the spirit of Haydn can be felt in every symphony and each tells of its stories.

concert series and special appearances

The concert series offers a diverse program that includes symphony concerts, "Cape Maps" evenings, chamber music and modern programs. Participating artists such as Veronika Eberle and Kristian Bezuidenhout will enrich the experience. In September, the first appearances in the Nikolaisaal are to be expected, where François Leleux together with Antonello Manacorda, the honorary conductor, will offer the audience an unmistakable sound experience.

not enough! The Chamber Academy will perform at festivals such as the Ruhr piano festival and the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival. In addition, very special opera productions are planned, including Johann Christian Bach's "Zanaida" and Giovanni Paisielle "Il Barbiere di Siviglia". These productions will enrich the repertoire of the Chamber Academy and reflect the diversity of the ensemble.

youth and music agency

A special concern of the Chamber Academy is the music mediation. Programs such as "Music creates perspective" and sign language concerts will play a central role in the season. In addition, the Chamber Academy plans to work with schools and universities to promote the offspring. [Kammerakademie-potsdam.de] (https://www.kammerakademie-potsdam.de/saison-25-26/herzlich-will arrival/) aims to increase the visibility of the orchestra in Potsdam and make the music accessible beyond concert halls.

For the season, concert tours are also planned at Lake Geneva, Belgium and Turkey. This underlines the efforts of the Chamber Academy not only to shine regionally, but also internationally and to discover new horizons.

the legacy of Joseph Haydn

Joseph Haydn, often described as the “father of symphony” and chamber music, played a crucial role in the development of classical music. Born in Rohrau, Austria in 1732, he was recognized early on as a musical talent and laid the foundation for his impressive career. According to classicals.de, his isolation from other composers was a driving force for his creativity.

The Chamber Academy Potsdam emphasizes its openness, curiosity and social responsibility and plans to start the season with new concert formats and the premiere of contemporary works, such as the first Synfonie from Tsotne Zedginidze. Joseph Haydn's spirit comes to life in every note, and the ensemble is ready to tell its story in the sound.

The coming months promise to become a festival of music, and the Chamber Academy is looking forward to inspiring the audience with new experiences and most beautiful sounds.
