Eva Maria Pollerus
to the Zimmermannsche Kaffehaus in Leipzig.
Content
at Zimmermann’s Coffee House
It does not always have to be Sebastian: Eva Maria Pollerus opens her evening of baroque with an overture by Bach’s cousin Johann Bernhard, which the St. Thomas Cantor once also conducted. Handel’s most famous Concerto Grosso and Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D Minor round off the programme - one that might well have been performed in Zimmermann’s Coffee House in Leipzig, conducted by Bach.

Recreation is special in many ways: consisting of musicians whose nationalities range from Japan to Venezuela, most of the members received part of their training in Graz. After its formation in 2002, the collective played unique halls such as the Alte Oper Frankfurt and worked with outstanding conductors.
Eva Maria Pollerus pursues a thousand paths to music as a harpsichordist, ensemble director and professor. As the youngest Austrian head of department, she set the tone for harpsichord, early music and performance practice at the Graz University of Arts before moving to the University of Music in Frankfurt am Main in 2012.
