The singers Josef Grunden (baritone), Claudia Küper (alto) and Petra Niestegge (soprano) have been musical friends for many years. Their passion for classical music has brought them together again and again in joint concerts over many years.

All three have extensive experience as choral singers and have trained their voices individually through singing lessons. In addition to their work in the ensemble, they also perform regularly as soloists.

The three singers are accompanied by pianist Martin Helfen. Born in Bocholt and trained as a pianist and teacher at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, he is a versatile musician who is active as a soloist and chamber musician with a particular focus on song accompaniment. In 2025, for example, he performed as a pianist in the concert series "Paul Potts & Piano - The Greatest Hits" alongside British tenor Paul Potts.

In this concert, the four artists invite the audience on a varied musical journey. The programme includes works by Mozart, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Rutter and other composers - a small but exquisite concert full of tonal colours, intimacy and the joy of making music together.
