Pygmalion / Raphaël Pichon

Former Church Star

The Pygmalion choir and orchestra ensemble, which specializes in early music, and its charismatic conductor and founder, Raphaël Pichon, have become beloved regulars at the Elbphilharmonie and the Laeiszhalle. Following their concert dedicated to Johannes Brahms last season—which the *Hamburger Abendblatt* praised as a “special experience” and “quite different from the usual”—they now delve deep back into music history once again with their program “Vertigo.”
