Enjoy highlights of Berliner Baroque and Classical music in an atmosphere evoking the period.

Charlottenburg Palace, the magnificent summer residence of the Prussian kings, has been a center for artistic activities since its history began. With this new series of concerts, performed in the palace's Great Orangery, we would like to offer an opportunity to Berliners and visitors from abroad to listen to highlights of Baroque and Classical  music from Berlin in an atmosphere adapted to that time. The members of the orchestra and the recipienty will be dressed in baroque costumes and the programme will be performed by candlelight.

The Berlin Residence Orchestra is gathered exclusively for this Charlottenburg Palace Series of Concerts. Its members are professional and renowned musicians from Berlin who have a particular understanding of and love for the music of the late Baroque and Classical eras. They are committed to helping modern audiences appreciate the music of this historical time.

Programme:
The program comprises a number of musical high points from the 17th and 18th centuries. Represented composers range from the Olympic musical genius Johann Sebastian Bach to Queen Sophie Charlotte (after whom the palace was named and who was a gifted composer herself); from King Frederic the Great and his court musician Luigi Boccherini to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
