Sophie Harmsen
Alto
Mezzo-soprano Sophie Harmsen is especially in international demand as an interpreter of Mozart's works. During the past season she was on tour as Dorabella with René Jacobs in Europe and Asia to great critical acclaim, as well as performing Annio in "La clemenza di Tito" at the Teatro Real Madrid with Christophe Rousset with overwhelming success. Mozart of course also had to be present on the concert stage. In between Schumann's "Faust Scenes" with Daniel Harding and Rameau's "Suites from Zoroastre" with Jérémie Rhorer, she sang numerous "C Minor Masses", amongst others with Adam Fischer.
Sophie Harmsen is looking forward to debuting with some renowned conductors this season. She will be singing with Iván Fischer (Mozart "Requiem"), Philippe Herreweghe (Schubert "Mass in E flat") and Markus Stenz (Mozart "C Minor Mass"). She feels it is a great honour to be part of the 30th anniversary celebrations of the Freiburger Barockorchester, where she will be performing Beethoven's "9th Symphony". A tour to her native city Montreal with Václav Luks and Bach's "B Minor Mass" completes an exciting season.
In her work with famous directors such as Robert Wilson, William Kentridge and Andreas Dresen she was able to hone her already convincing and much praised acting skills.
Early Music is one of Sophie Harmsen's greatest loves. Her solo recitals with Concerto Köln and Capella Augustina were raving successes and concerts with Vaclav Luks, Jos van Immerseel, Raphaël Pichon, Andrea Marcon, as well as numerous concerts and CD recordings with Frieder Bernius are documentation of her artistic versatility. She also feels a bond with the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart with whom she will be on a tour of South America this season.
Sophie Harmsen is a frequent performer at large international festivals such as the Salzburger Festspiele, the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival, the Rheingau Musik Festival and the Bachfest Leipzig.
She sees the collaboration with large symphony orchestras such as the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, the Radio-Sinfonieorchester Stuttgart des SWR, the Deutsches Symphonie Orchester, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra is an integral part of her artistic journey.
Having already travelled the world at a young age as the daughter of German diplomats, Sophie Harmsen studied at the University of Cape Town and with Prof. Dr. Edith Wiens and now lives in Berlin with her family.

Tenor
Julian Prégardien
Tenor
Born in Frankfurt in 1984, tenor Julian Prégardien was trained in the choirs of Limburg Cathedral. After having studied voice in Freiburg and at the Aix-en-Provence Opera Festival Academy, he was a member of the soloist ensemble of Frankfurt Opera from 2009 to 2013. In parallel, he developed an international solo career, collaborating particularly often with conductors specialized in historical performance practice. 2008 marked his first collaboration with René Jacobs, his participation in a widely hailed recording of Bach’s St John Passion with La Chapelle Rhénane, and his début performances at the Theater an der Wien (in Gluck’s Ezio) and at Opéra de Monte Carlo (in Haydn‘s L'infedeltà delusa). His first Lieder recitals took place as a member of the “Young Elite” at Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival, as one of the “Jeunes Étoiles” at the Menuhin Festival in Gstaad, and at Rheingau Music Festival. In 2010 he went on European tour as soloist with Collegium Vocale Gent and Concerto Köln in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio.
In the meantime, Prégardien has become one of the outstanding young vocalists on the international scene. In recent years he gave his début at Aix-en-Provence Festival, at Hamburg State Opera, at Bavarian State Opera in Munich, and at the Opéra Comique in Paris. Salzburg Festival has been regularly inviting for concert appearances since 2015.
Kent Nagano regularly invites Prégardien to perform with the two orchestras of which he is Music Director: Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra. Sharing the stage with his father Christoph Prégardien, Julian also sang the title role in a concert performance of Mozart’s Idomeneo with the ensemble Concerto Köln, likewise with Nagano conducting.
Julian Prégardien has collaborated with René Jacobs and with Christophe Rousset in a great number of projects featuring opera and concert repertoire of the Baroque and Classical eras, including works by Lully, Charpentier, Rameau, Carissimi, Pergolesi, Bach, and Mozart.
In his career, Julian Prégardien lays particular emphasis on Lied recitals along with chamber music projects. He was one of the vocalists selected to participate in the complete performance of the Lieder of Franz Schubert at the Schubertiade in Hohenems and Schwarzenberg (Austria), at Wigmore Hall, and at the new Boulez Hall in Berlin. Along with this father and the early music ensemble Anima Eterna conducted by Jos van Immerseel, he conceived a special Monteverdi recital featuring excerpts from the operas Ulisse and Orfeo along with madrigals: the programme was featured at the Salzburg Whitsun Festival, at Dresden Music Festival and at Versailles Castle.
Prégardien has launched the media platform P.RHÉI, a multimedia editorial project that throws new light on the performance history and practice of Schubert’s Winterreise. The project includes a recording of Hans Zender’s orchestral version of Winterreise, to be released on the Alpha Classics label in 2018.
In November 2017, Julian Prégardien was appointed Professor of Voice at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Munich. He is a member of the Schumann Network and a patron of Canto elementar, a programme that actively supports children’s singing activities in Kindergärten.

The Grammy nomination for the production of Mozarts "Le nozze di Figaro" (Deutsche Grammophon) or its role as a cultural ambassador of Germany in the context of the G20 summit testify the outstanding reputation.
Compelling, faithful, and historically informed interpretations, laced with passion and emotion, characterise its performances. "His sound is akin to pure gold"(American Record Guide), "Enchanting, captivating" (Rondo), "perfect singing" (FonoForum), "crystal clear, subtle" (SR), "little wonder" (MDR) are just a few reviews attributed to the young ensembles.

Orchestra
Freiburger Barockorchester
Orchestra
Es begann mit einer spontanen Idee und entwickelte sich zu einer einzigartigen, musikalischen Erfolgsgeschichte: in einer Silvesternacht vor mehr als 30 Jahren entschlossen sich Freiburger Musikstudenten dazu, ein Orchester zu gründen, das sich ganz der historisch informierten Aufführungspraxis widmet. Als "Freiburger Barockorchester" konzertierten die Musiker und Musikerinnen erstmals 1987 im Freiburger Umkreis – heute ist der Klangkörper weltberühmt. Neben den eigenen Konzertreihen in Freiburg, Stuttgart und Berlin gastiert das FBO in den bedeutendsten, internationalen Konzertsälen und gilt als eines der profiliertesten Alte-Musik-Ensembles weltweit. Zahlreiche namhafte Solisten arbeiten regelmäßig mit dem Ensemble zusammen, darunter Isabelle Faust, Christian Gerhaher, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Sandrine Piau, Pablo Heras-Casado, Jean-Guihen Queyras oder René Jacobs, mit dem das FBO eine langjährige, bereichernde Freundschaft verbindet.
Doch nicht nur in konzertanter, sondern auch in diskographischer Hinsicht setzt das FBO Maßstäbe. In enger Kooperation mit dem Label Harmonia mundi konnte das Ensemble für seine Aufnahmen zahllose Preise entgegen nehmen: drei Jahrespreise der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, zwei Gramophone Awards, drei Edison Classical Music Awards, einen Classical Brit Award, sowie zwei Grammy-Nominierungen.
Zusammen mit dem ensemble recherche hat das FBO seinen Stammsitz im 2012 bezogenen Ensemblehaus Freiburg, einer musikalischen Ideenschmiede, in der sich alte und neue Musik gegenseitig inspirieren und ergänzen. Diese Inspiration geben die beiden Institutionen jährlich im Rahmen der Ensemble Akademie an junge Studierende aus aller Welt weiter.
Das FBO samt seinen beiden künstlerischen Leitern Gottfried von der Goltz und Kristian Bezuidenhout glänzt auch in der Saison 2018/19 erneut mit abwechslungsreichen und hochkarätig besetzten Konzertprogrammen aus Renaissance, Barock und Klassik. So erklingen u.a. französische Arien mit Sandrine Piau, Weihnachtskantaten von A. Scarlatti mit dem Freiburger BarockConsort und Dorothee Mields, Rameaus Oper "Hippolyte et Aricie" an der Berliner Staatsoper unter der Leitung von Sir Simon Rattle, Mozarts "Don Giovanni" dann im Rahmen einer Asientour unter René Jacobs. Außerdem ist das FBO zu Gast in der Londoner Wigmore Hall, dem Wiener Musikverein, beim Bachfest Leipzig, zusammen mit Julian Prégardien beim Mozartfest Würzburg, sowie in Granada, wo "Figaros Hochzeit" erklingt.
