A sought-after concert soloist in Germany, he is rapidly establishing himself on the international stage. Highlights of the 2022/23 season include his US debut with works by Handel and Bach at the Boston Early Music Festival, Mozart’s Great Mass in C minor with the B’Rock Orchestra in The Hague, Brussels and Antwerp und Beethoven’s 9th Symphony in Sønderborg, Denmark. In 2024, he will be performing the role of the evangelist in Bach’s St. John Passion with the RIAS Kammerchor and the Akademie für Alte Musik in Berlin and Paris under the baton of Justin Doyle.
Florian Sievers collaborates with conductors like Jordi Savall, Frieder Bernius, Lionel Meunier and Wolfgang Katschner and with orchestras like the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, Dresden Philharmonic, Sønderjyllands Symfonieorkester, B’Rock Orchestra, Lautten Compagney, the Freiburger Barockorchester and the Nederlandse Bachvereniging.
Alongside his concert schedule, Florian is a keen opera performer. In 2022 he performed the title role of Jan van Leyden in the world premiere of the opera J. S. Bach – The Apocalypse in The Hague, produced by Opera2Day and the Nederlandse Bachvereniging. The production is scheduled for over 20 shows in the Netherlands and Germany in 2024.
During 2019-2021, he worked at Chemnitz Opera, where he sang in Mozart‘s Entführung aus dem Serail (Pedrillo), among other roles.
A vivid performer of the art song repertoire, he regularly gives recitals, including a notable appearance in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg with Ragna Schirmer in 2019. In 2021 he initiated the experimental project Schubertlied.Salon, combining Franz Schubert’s Lieder with two guitars, the famous Erlkönig contrasting with the sound of electric guitars amongst them.
Numerous radio broadcasts, CD and video recordings covering works from the baroque era to contemporary opera bear witness to Florian Sievers’ active artistic work and wide repertoire. Two recent recordings with the ensemble Ælbgut have been awarded a Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik (“Leipzig 1723“) and an Opus Klassik (“Johannespassion 1725”).
