Maxim Emelyanychev live in Berlin

Experience Maxim Emelyanychev live on November 19th

Maxim Emelyanychev, a Russian-born countertenor and harpsichordist, will perform at the Philharmonie Berlin on November 19, 2026. Emelyanychev is known for his historically informed performance practice, specializing in Baroque and early Classical music. His style frequently blends vocal performance with virtuosic harpsichord playing, often simultaneously, challenging traditional concert formats. He leads the ensemble Il Pomo d’Oro, though details regarding whether he will be performing with them on this occasion are currently unavailable. His repertoire encompasses works by composers such as Handel, Vivaldi, and Scarlatti, presented with a focus on dynamic interpretation and ornamentation characteristic of the period.

The Philharmonie Berlin is a renowned concert hall situated in the Kulturforum of Berlin. Opened in 1963, it is home to the Berliner Philharmoniker orchestra and hosts a wide range of classical music performances throughout the year. Designed by Hans Scharoun, its distinctive asymmetrical shape and vineyard-style seating arrangement were revolutionary for concert hall architecture at the time. The hall is celebrated for its exceptional acoustics which have been continually refined over the decades.
