French Cathedral, Berlin
Zvi Emanuel‐Marial: Winter Trip
Berlin, French Cathedral — Main Hall
About the Event
Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Berlin's breathtaking French Cathedral for the ultimate concert with Zvi Emanuel‐Marial.
You have never heard Franz Schubert's “Winterreise” like this before: countertenor Zvi Emanuel‐Marial impresses with his high level of musicality and expressiveness. Based on poems by Wilhelm Müller, Schubert set one of the best‐known and most popular song cycles in music history in 1827. Wandering, the leitmotif of Romanticism, is uniquely emphasized in “Winterreise”. Schubert's romantic masterpiece sounds astonishingly present, sadly beautiful and in the special interplay between the alto and his pianist Jonathan Aner in the impressive acoustics of the Friedrichstadtkirche in the Französischer Dom.

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.
