Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin: Memories

About the Event

In this highly‐anticipated concert, hear the mellifluous sounds of classical music by Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Lutoslawski at the Kammermusiksaal of the treasured and world‐renowned Philharmonie Berlin.
As a teenager, Mozart composed the enchanting, light‐flooded D major Divertimento. Tchaikovsky's 'Rococo Variations' also flow lightly, while his 'Memories of Florence' are filled with passion. Witold Lutosławski's poignant 'Grave', on the other hand, is suffused with sadness.

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.
