Berlin, Symphony of a Great City

About the Event

Discover a piece of cinematic, and musical, history. This 1927 Walter Ruttmann film encapsulates daily life in the Berlin of the interwar period, and was accompanied at its premier by 70 musicians playing a specially‐written score by Edmund Meisel.

The Strasbourg Philharmonic plays this score, arranged by Mark‐Andreas Schlingensiepen, as the film is screened, offering a rare opportunity to experience both works of art in their intended form.
