In 1770 he founded the so-called lovers' concerts together with violist Carl Ludwig Bachmann , which he headed as a conductor until 1785. These always took place in the Corsicaischer Saale opposite Monbijou Castle (today Oranienburger Straße ) and were mostly subscription events with their own orchestra and choir. Guest soloists include Johann Friedrich Reichardt , his future wife Juliane Benda and Minna Brandes (daughter of the actor and poet Johann Christian Brandes ).
