A festive start with musical tension and great sound power
With the season opening Résistance, the Kammerakademie Potsdam invites you to an orchestral evening in the Nikolaisaal Potsdam, which combines anniversary, attitude, and musical energy. The concert starts on August 29, 2026 at 19:30 and features works by Beethoven, Shostakovich, Mozart, and Kurt Weill.
An evening between resistance and sound colors
The program is more than a classic opening concert: It spans epochs, moods, and musical perspectives. François Leleux leads the KAP as conductor and oboist through an evening marked by expressiveness and historical depth. Maximilian Hornung takes on the solo part on the cello and brings Shostakovich's cello concerto to the stage with intensity and presence.
The Nikolaisaal as a stage for a special concert atmosphere
The Great Hall in the Nikolaisaal is considered the musical home of the Kammerakademie Potsdam. The venue on Wilhelm-Staab-Strasse combines concert experience, good acoustics, and a central location in the city center. Admission usually begins 60 minutes before the event starts, and there is an elevator in the courtyard for barrier-free access to the ticket gallery and the concert and event house. Public transportation is also convenient: Several bus and tram lines run from Potsdam Central Station to the Platz der Einheit/West.
Anniversary season with musical radiance
The Kammerakademie Potsdam celebrates its 25th anniversary this season. The ensemble stands for stylistic diversity, historical sensitivity, and a vibrant event experience. This mix also characterizes the season opening: well-known masterpieces, a prominent soloist, a precisely curated program, and the special audience atmosphere of a festive concert opening.
Practical information for concert attendance
Tickets are available through the Nikolaisaal. For the regular price level, the organizer specifies a range of 15 to 60 euros depending on the price group. Special conditions apply for eligible discounts, groups, and specific needs. On-site, there are also indications regarding accessibility, cloakroom, catering, and parking options in the vicinity.
