Baritone Matthias Goerne joins Andris Nelsons, the Gewandhausorchester, and MDR-Rundfunkchor for an all-Mendelssohn program: Erde, Hölle und Himmel (“Christus”), Psalm 42 “Wie der Hirsch schreit”, and Die erste Walpurgisnacht.​ Goerne shares the stage with soprano Nikola Hillebrand, alto Catriona Morison, tenor Werner Güra, and bass Alexander Grassauer.​ As part of »Tacheles – Jahr der Jüdischen Kultur in Sachsen 2026«, this concert honors Mendelssohn, grandson of philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, who bridged Jewish-German worlds despite his Christian upbringing.
The program is performed at two concerts in Gewandhaus in Leipzig on February 6 and 8.
