Julia Lezhneva & Maurice Steger

The young soprano Julia Lezhneva convinces and inspires internationally: her voice is described as "angelic", she sings with "pure tone" and "flawless technique". Finally, the Süddeutsche Zeitung sees her as a sorceress: she can almost make her voice disappear, perform the most ludicrous vocal tricks and garland fireworks.

In the concert project of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, the exceptional singer meets the Swiss recorder virtuoso Maurice Steger. The specialist in Baroque music has already been called the "sorcerer" and the "Paganini of the recorder" because of his technical skills. For his encounter with Julia Lezhneva, he has conceived a concert evening that enchants both baroque arias and furious instrumental music of the time into a feast for the senses.
