The 2025/26 concert season will begin for contralto Henriette Gödde with a guest performance at the Cologne Philharmonic Hall and at the Bremen Music Festival with Mozart's Requiem and the Collegium 1704 (Václav Luks). This will be followed by several recitals with her duo partner Prof. Michael Schütze under the theme “From the Orient to the Occident – or how the eastern roses came to Europe.” Further highlights include a tour with Bach's Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 and the format BachBewegt!Tanz! with the Gaechinger Cantorey (Hans-Christoph Rademann), as well as a New Year's concert at the Cologne Philharmonic with Beethoven's 9th Symphony and the WDR Radio Choir. In 2026, Henriette Gödde will perform Mendelssohn's Elijah at the Berlin Philharmonic with the Philharmonic Choir Berlin accompanied by the Brandenburg State Orchestra (Gregor Meyer). She is particularly looking forward to her first collaboration with the Danish National Philharmonic Orchestra (Paolo Carignani) and several concerts featuring Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in Denmark. Close to her heart is Achim Zimmermann's farewell concert as director of the Berliner Singakademie. Together with the Lautten Compagney Berlin, she will perform J. S. Bach's Mass in B minor for the last time with him at the Konzerthaus Berlin.
