A winter evening full of sound poetry in Potsdam
The Sanssouci Concert: Winter Night brings a finely balanced chamber orchestra experience to the stage on 27 November 2026 at 19:00 in the Friedenskirche Sanssouci. At the center are Liza Ferschtman and the Chamber Academy Potsdam with music by Shostakovich, Raminta Šerkšnytė, and the Bach family – a program that elegantly intertwines baroque lines, modern tension, and emotional depth.
Musical night between baroque and present
The dramaturgy of this evening relies on contrasts with resonance: historical sound language meets expressive modernity, fragile melancholy meets radiant transparency. Especially in the acoustic aura of the Friedenskirche, this orchestration unfolds a special intensity. Those who are enthusiastic about refined string culture, chamber music precision, and lively audience atmosphere will find a concert experience with character here.
Liza Ferschtman as the interpretive focus
The Dutch violinist Liza Ferschtman is one of the internationally recognized soloists of her generation. Her playing is praised in the specialized press for its dynamics, lyrical tension, and clear tone; she was also awarded the Dutch Music Prize in 2006. For Potsdam, this means: a performance that combines technical sovereignty and emotional immediacy, illuminating the score not only but also narrating it dramatically.
The Friedenskirche as a resonance space
The Friedenskirche Sanssouci provides the ideal setting for this concert. The sacred space in the Sanssouci Park bestows a concentrated, almost contemplative atmosphere on the evening. According to the organizer, entry begins at 18:00, and the concert lasts until around 21:00. House note: Accessibility is not available, while catering is provided around the concerts. For travel, the stop Potsdam, Luisenplatz-Nord/Park Sanssouci is recommended; parking is available for a fee in the P1 parking lot at the Historical Mill.
Tickets and advance sales
The price information from the event platform ranges from 17.90 to 36.95 Euro; additionally, the organizer mentions a price of 12.30 Euro for U30 tickets. Since the seating categories vary, an early look at the advance sale of the Nikolaisaal Potsdam ticket gallery or at the box office is worthwhile. This very dynamic between limited availability, high-quality program, and special location makes the appeal of this evening.
Conclusion
The Sanssouci Concert: Winter Night promises a concentrated, atmospherically dense concert evening between musical tradition and contemporary vibrancy. Liza Ferschtman, the Chamber Academy Potsdam, and the Friedenskirche Sanssouci together shape a live experience that one does not only hear but also feels. Anyone wanting to experience great expressiveness in an intimate format should not miss this date in Potsdam.
