  • Homogenität, Präzision, Leichtigkeit und Witz – das sind die Markenzeichen von Calmus, heutzutage eine der erfolgreichsten Vokalgruppen Deutschlands. Das Ensemble besitzt eine Klangkultur, wie sie nur von wenigen erreicht wird. Die breite Palette an Klangfarben, die Musizierfreude, die die Musiker auf der Bühne vermitteln, aber auch ihre abwechslungs- und einfallsreichen Programme werden von der Presse immer wieder hervorgehoben. Die fünf Leipziger haben eine ganze Reihe internationaler Preise und Wettbewerbe gewonnen, u.a. den ECHO Klassik und den Supersonic Award, und der Radius ihrer Aktivitäten wird ständig größer und führt sie durch ganz Europa sowie Nord- und Südamerika. 2010 gab das Quintett sein Debüt in der New Yorker Carnegie Hall.

    Unermüdlich sind die Musiker bestrebt, neues Repertoire zu entdecken. Geprägt von der vielhundertjährigen Tradition großer deutscher Knabenchöre sind sie natürlich in der Vokalmusik der Renaissance, des Barock und der Romantik zu Hause. Musik unserer Zeit ist ihnen aber ebenfalls ein echtes Anliegen. In allen Sparten gibt es immer wieder interessante Partnerschaften mit Kollegen wie der Lautten Compagney Berlin, dem Raschèr Saxophone Quartet, der Hamburger Ratsmusik oder der Bigband des Hessischen Rundfunks. Da diese im Bereich der zeitgenössischen Musik häufig völlig neues Repertoire bedeuten, hat Calmus über die Jahre zahlreiche Kompositionsaufträge u. a. an Bernd Franke, Steffen Schleiermacher, Wolfram Buchenberg, Mathew Rosenblum, Bill Dobbins, Michael Denhoff und Harald Banter vergeben und Uraufführungen gesungen. Dass sie gerne Pop, Folk und Jazz sowie Chansons und Evergreens der zwanziger Jahre singen, das versteht sich von selbst!

    Ein Teil ihrer Zeit ist der Nachwuchsförderung gewidmet, denn Unterricht und Workshops gehören zu ihrem Alltag, zu Hause in Leipzig und unterwegs. Kein Wunder, dass Calmus mit der einzigartigen Besetzung aus Sopranistin, Countertenor, Tenor, Bariton und Bass überall auf der Welt immer mehr Fans hat. Personal details

Whether he conducts vocal works by Monteverdi, Bach, Händel, Mozart, Beethoven, Fauré and Ligeti, stage music by Mendelssohn or symphonies by Haydn, Burgmüller and Schubert, his work always aims for a sound that is at once unmistakably personal and at the same time oriented towards the original period sound ideal. He devotes himself equally to the rediscovery of 18th century operas and to first performances of contemporary compositions. He is particularly interested in the musical history of southwestern Germany. Carus-Verlag has awarded Frieder Bernius a Golden CD for his complete recording of the sacred music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. The award was presented to him during the German Choir Festival in Stuttgart 2016.
