His performances frequently feature spontaneous arrangements and a strong connection with the audience.

Schwerin Cathedral, dedicated to St. Mary and St. John, holds significant historical and architectural importance for the region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Originally constructed in the 13th century as a brick Gothic hall church, it underwent substantial Neo-Gothic renovations in the late 19th century led by architect Georg Adolph Wilhelm. The Dom features a prominent west tower offering panoramic views of the surrounding lake district and houses notable artistic features including stained glass windows and a large organ built by Sauer. Throughout its history, the cathedral has served as both a religious center and a symbol of Schwerin’s identity; it has been used for coronations and important state events. Its acoustics are considered particularly well-suited for musical performances.
