Albrecht Winter (born 14 June 1970) is a German violinist, Kapellmeister and academic teacher.
Born in Rüdersdorf bei Berlin, Winter comes from a family of cantors, in which the Protestant church music tradition and music-making at home shaped him from an early age. After attending a special music school, he studied violin with Klaus Hertel at the University of Music and Theatre Leipzig from 1988 to 1993. During his studies, he won a prize at the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition in 1992. From 1996 to 1997, he taught for one and a half years as an assistant at the Leipzig Hochschule. [1]
From 1997, Winter was concertmaster of the 2nd violins in the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for six years. Since 2003 he has held a professorship for violin and didactics at the Wuppertal department of the Musikhochschule Köln.
Already during their studies in Leipzig, some music (not singing!) and theology students with a penchant for early music got together and formed the vocal ensemble "Collegium Canticorum", of which Winter is still the 2nd bass today. [2] Rehearsal weekends and summer concerts with a now expanded repertoire bring them together from all parts of Germany.
In 1989, some students at Leipzig University discovered their love of salon music. Together with one of their teachers, they founded the Salonorchester Cappuccino, whose violin soloist and director is Albrecht Winter and which can now look back on a thirty-year tradition. The repertoire of the musicians, who now belong to various orchestras, presented in theme concerts ranges from arrangements of classical music to swinging film hits. The entitlement concerts of the Salonorchester Cappuccino have been an integral part of the concert programme of the Gewandhaus. [3] A hallmark of Winter's concerts is its informative, witty and entertaining conferences.
From 2004 to 2013, Winter was artistic director of the Leipziger Neues Bachisches Collegium Musicum. [4] There, in addition to Bach's secular music, he focused on that of his predecessors and reconstructed the historic Gewandhaus concerts of the 18th century.

The Harvard–Radcliffe Collegium Musicum is a mixed chorus at Harvard University, composed of roughly 50 voices from undergraduate and graduate student populations. Founded in 1971 to coincide with the coeducational merger of Harvard and Radcliffe College, Collegium drew from members of the Harvard Glee Club and the Radcliffe Choral Society to form a smaller mixed group that could represent Harvard on tours. Although Collegium used to perform primarily early Renaissance music, its repertoire now draws from centuries of a cappella and orchestral selections. Together with the (tenor-bass) Harvard Glee Club and the (soprano-alto) Radcliffe Choral Society, it is a member of the Harvard Choruses.
Collegium Musicum 90 is an English baroque orchestra playing on period instruments. It was founded by violinist Simon Standage and conductor Richard Hickox in 1990 and was jointly directed by them until the death of Hickox in November 2008.
The keyboard concertos, BWV 1052–1065, are concertos for harpsichord, strings and continuo by Johann Sebastian Bach. There are seven complete concertos for a single harpsichord, three concertos for two harpsichords, two concertos for three harpsichords, and one concerto for four harpsichords. Two other concertos include solo harpsichord parts: the concerto BWV 1044, which has solo parts for harpsichord, violin and flute, and Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major, with the same scoring. In addition, there is a nine-bar concerto fragment for harpsichord which adds an oboe to the strings and continuo.
Angenehmes Wiederau, freue dich in deinen Auen, BWV 30.1, is a 1737 secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, on a libretto by Christian Friedrich Henrici (Picander).

Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele, BWV 143, is an early cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He appears to have composed the cantata for New Year's Day, probably when he was in his 20s, but whether it was first performed in Mühlhausen or Weimar is not known: the date of composition is unclear. Bach's authorship has been doubted because the cantata has several ununusual features; one of these is the scoring, it is the only Bach cantata to combine three corni da caccia with timpani.
