Fabian Strotmann belongs to the most versatile solo artists of todays generation in Germany.

Fabian Strotmann developed an inspiring passion for Lied: While playing numerous Lied-recitals together with best-known accompanist Tatjana Dravenau, they regularly keep on getting as close to the acting spots of great Lied-composers. That is why they chose to play concerts at Mendelssohn-Haus Leipzig and at Robert-Schumann-Haus Zwickau.
Fabian Strotmann'S Repertoire includes works from middleaged Choralschola to todays modern operas. Still he focuses on lyric tenorparts from oratorio and concert. In 2016 , he had his American debut in the modern opera De Materie by Louis Andriessen at the Armory Hall New York. |
