Our cham­ber music series at Konzer­thaus Berlin 

Our next con­cert of the series planned for March 6, 2021 has to be can­celled. We will hope­fully be able to give you a catch-up date soon.

In the 2021/22 sea­son we hope for nor­mal con­certs with 4 dates.
Please make a note of the fol­low­ing Sat­urdays:
18.12.2021 / 29.01.2022 / 02.04.2022 / 21.05.2022

This sea­son will be a com­bin­a­tion of two catch-up con­certs from the 2020/21 sea­son with pure Beeth­oven pro­grammes and a com­bin­a­tion of Beeth­oven plus Dov­rak and Janacek. In the last con­cert — themed ‘Kreutzer Son­ata’ -, the act­or Till Wein­heimer (with a read­ing of excerpts from Tolstoi’s ‘Kreutzer Son­ata’) and the pian­ist Cas­par Frantz will be our guests.

The exact sea­son pro­gramme can be found under our projects.
