Berlin, Philharmonie Berlin — Kammermusiksaal
About the Event
Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Berlin's breathtaking Philharmonie Berlin for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of gospel music.
O Happy New Year! Donna Brown has assembled a first‐class ensemble of artists and put together a new program for the New Year's Gala that focuses entirely on soulful gospel classics. Rhythmic and hymnal, the music can be felt right down to the bones and is carried by the brilliant acoustics of the Berlin Philharmonic's Chamber Music Hall. The singers will fire up the hall with their powerful voices, performing solos and choruses. Accompanied by Donna Brown on piano and her jazz band, they will sing the greatest hits of the gospel‐inspired soul era. We highly recommend this concert to anyone who wants to start the new year with great euphoria and joie de vivre.
Philharmonie Berlin
The Philharmonie is a concert hall opened in 1963 in West Berlin. It is considered the musical heart of the German capital, as well as the new urban centre after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall. Its distinctive bright yellow exterior and unusual tent-like shape quickly made it a city landmark. The surprising design and architecture were initially viewed negatively by many, but the Philharmonie is now considered a model for concert halls worldwide. The architect, Hans Scharoun, aimed to design a concert hall in which the focal point - the musicians on the concert platform - is equally visible from every seat, an aim that gave rise to the hall's unusual shape. Since its inauguration, the Berliner Philharmonie has hosted numerous concerts, often featuring acclaimed soloists and conductors.
