Veronika Würfel & Antonia Biemer (soprano), Anja Trekel & Cäcilia Vormstein (alto), Pedro Matos & Caspar Wein (tenor), Christoph Biemer (bass) & Lukas Schulze (bass) skillfully sing beautiful, pure sounds with 'Liebeslieder — A Cappella', which are rarely heard in the capital.

French Cathedral
The French Church Französischer Dom is one of the three key buildings at the Gendarmenmarkt, the most beautiful square in Berlin. The church was built as a place of worship for the Huguenots, followers of the Protestant Reformed Church of France, who were persecuted in their own country and found asylum in Berlin in the reign of Frederick the Great.

The French Cathedral stands opposite the German Church or Neue Kirche, their identical domes and styles forming a stunning architectural ensemble. Unusually, in this location, 'Dom' refers not to a German 'cathedral', but to the French 'dome'. The building houses the Huguenot museum, a restaurant and a viewing platform that offers a gorgeous view of Mitte district of Berlin.
