When Two Cellos Overcome Borders: Music Connects in Potsdam
On November 26, 2026, the foyer of the Brandenburg State Parliament will transform into a unique sound space. At around 12:30 PM, the Duo Cello Capriccioso invites you to a free classical concert during the lunch break of the plenary session, focusing on musical encounters and cultural exchange.
A Musical Partnership with History
Almuth Kraußer-Vistel from Berlin and the Cuban cellist Douglas Vistel from Havana met in 1991 during their joint music studies at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow. This encounter developed into an artistic and personal partnership, marked by musical passion, mutual inspiration, and cultural openness for over three decades.
Warm Cello Sound in the Historic Foyer
The cello combines a dark, warm tone color with great emotional expressiveness. In the duo’s interplay, precise synchronization, finely tuned dynamics, and expressive stage performance come together. The special acoustics of the foyer create an immediate concert space where every bow stroke and melodic line can unfold its effect.
Music as Encounter
The title Music Connects describes not only the concert but also the history of the duo. Berlin, Havana, and Moscow are important stations of a musical collaboration that transcends cultural boundaries and brings people together through shared listening experiences. This results in a classical concert experience with a personal touch and an international background.
