The Top of European Orchestras in Berlin

О событии

Grammy awarded concert

The Orchestre de Paris has existed for only 40 years, but it builds on a longer tradition. In 1967 it took the place of the orchestra of conservatory concerts, which made Beethoven popular in France. The new orchestra also considers it a vital task to raise a new and permanent public awareness for musical works.
Christoph Eschenbach, principle conductor since 2000, presents a programme constructed around the fascination with distant shores: visions of faith in Messiaen's first orchestral work; fairy‐tale magic in Ravel's Mother Goose, and fascination with India in Zemlinsky's symphony, adapted from texts by Rabindranath Tagore. The orchestra received a Grammy Award for the recording of the work with Christine Schäfer, Matthias Goerne und Christoph Eschenbach.

The Berliner Festspiele bring together a seemingly endless variety of arts and culture under one roof each year in Berlin. It was founded in West Berlin in 1951. Throughout the year, festivals, program series, and individual events enrich the cultural scene of the city. The festivals include performances of music, theater, dance, and literature.
