An evening full of acoustic seduction at the Nikolaisaal Potsdam

On December 5, 2026, the Chamber Academy Potsdam invites you to an orchestral concert that truly lives up to its title: Magic. In the Great Hall of the Nikolaisaal, exceptional musicians Lisa Batiashvili and François Leleux come together in a program that sets Haydn, Bach, Mozart, and Prokofiev in a captivating dialogue.

Virtuoso encounters at the highest level

The evening thrives on that rare blend of precision, joy of playing, and inner tension that characterizes a great concert experience. When Batiashvili and Leleux meet in Bach's Double Concerto, it is not merely a collaboration, but a musical exchange filled with elegance, breath, and character. The orchestration of the program creates a bridge from the playful Viennese classical style to Prokofiev's classical clarity.

From Haydn to Prokofiev: a dramaturgy with brilliance

The Chamber Academy Potsdam opens the evening with Haydn's Symphony No. 83 in G minor, the famous La Poule, showcasing the dancerly lightness for which this repertoire is so beloved. Following this, Bach's Double Concerto in D minor highlights the fine synchronization between violin and oboe, before Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 4 in D major deepens the lyrical shine of the evening. Prokofiev's First Symphony concludes with ironic elegance and pointed conducting.

It is here that a symphony concert of this kind unfolds its full effect: fine dynamic nuances, transparent string colors, and a direct sound that instantly captures the audience's mood.

Sound, presence, and audience moment

This orchestral concert promises not a routine performance of familiar masterpieces, but a genuine live experience with artistic authority. KAP as the resident orchestra of the Nikolaisaal stands for stylistic security and high musical precision, while the soloists impart emotional depth and brilliance to the evening. Those wishing to experience classical music in its finest, most vibrant form will find an evening full of excitement and beauty here.
