He frequently collaborates with prominent orchestras and chamber ensembles, and is known for his commitment to exploring diverse musical periods, from Baroque to contemporary compositions.

Konzerthaus Berlin holds a significant place in the city’s musical landscape. Originally built in 1821 as the Schauspielhaus under the direction of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, it underwent substantial reconstruction following damage during World War II. Reopened in 1984, it has been meticulously restored to reflect its original neoclassical design. The hall is renowned for its exceptional acoustics, particularly favoured for chamber music and orchestral performances. It serves as the home base for the Konzerthausorchester Berlin, an orchestra with a history tracing back to 1952 but incorporating traditions from earlier court orchestras. The building itself is considered a landmark representing Berlin’s architectural heritage and continuing cultural vitality.
