Songs by Henry Purcell & The Beatles
Saxophone: Asya Fateyeva
lautten compagney BERLIN
Lute and direction: Wolfgang Katschner

Henry Purcell, The Beatles, and a saxophone? At first glance, a surprising combination. Yet lautten compagney BERLIN, together with saxophonist Asya Fateyeva, demonstrates how sonic worlds can connect across centuries. Purcell's baroque melodies, once the embodiment of English musical tradition, meet the inventiveness of The Beatles, whose songs shaped pop culture in the 20th century. The saxophone, invented in 1846, brings a new timbre to the historical instrumental palette and builds a bridge between these two worlds.

The result is a programme that transcends boundaries - between classical and popular music, between yesterday and today. Purcell plus The Beatles - that rocks!

About the venue: Frauenkirche

The Frauenkirche is a Lutheran baroque church on the Neumarkt square, originally built in the 18th century and famously reduced to rubble during the Allied bombing of Dresden in February 1945. Its ruins stood as a war memorial for decades before a painstaking reconstruction was completed in 2005. Today the church hosts regular worship services as well as concerts and public events beneath its iconic stone dome.
