German Radio Orchestra
The German Radio Orchestra performs regularly festive concerts with renowned soloists both nationally and internationally.
Conductor: Horst Frohn
He took part at numerous master classes at home and abroad, for example in Montbozon, France, with Sergiu Celibidaches long-time personal assistant Konrad von Abel. Frohn‘s repertoire includes the great choral works as well as orchestral literature. He conducted performances of Händel's Firework- and Watermusic and many of Bach‘s orchestral works, Mozart's Jupiter Symphony, Beethoven‘s Symphony No. 9 , the wind serenades by Dvorak and Gounod as well as the "Kindertotenlieder" by Gustav Mahler.
Since 2009, Mr. Frohn acts as a guest-conductor in more or less regular intervals. His extremely successful collaboration with Japanese choirs and orchestras has been initiated by Prof.
In 2013 Frohn initiated a special pedagogic project: The "Pupils Dance Project" put about 200 pupils of Regensburgs middle schools on stage. They performed a choreography accompanied by Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana", sung and played by the choir and orchestra of the Chorphilharmonie Regensburg and the Regensburger Domspatzen.

Soloist: Joanna Sachryn
Joanna Sachryn captivates us with her "tremendous temperament, huge musicality and breathtaking instrumental technique" - Kölner Stadtanzeiger.
She offers us "exciting expressiveness in rich colours" - Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
The Nordbayerischer Kurier finds her "the absolute apogee of mellifluous and feminine feeling for sound", even a "Singing Swan of the cello". Especially prized by the music press and audiences the world over is Joanna's bewitching power of expression, which she exemplifies in all musical styles.
