Artists

Precise vocal control, clear diction, intelligent musicality and an ability to get to the heart of everything he sings ensure Christoph Prégardien’s place among the world’s foremost lyric tenors. He performs regularly with orchestras from around the world, including the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam, Staatskapelle Dresden, and Gewandhausorchester Leipzig. His extensive orchestral repertoire includes the great baroque, classical and romantic oratorios, as well as seventeenth-century (Monteverdi, Purcell, Schütz) and twentieth-century works (Britten, Killmayer, Rihm, Stravinsky). Teaching is an important part of the tenor's musical life; since 2004 he has been a professor at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz in Cologne and, in addition, regularly gives masterclasses to young singers from all over the world.
