For the 15th time we are opening the doors of the Konzerthaus Berlin for our Christmas "Kinderklassikgala". For Zukunft Konzerthaus it is a special concern to give children from socially deprived areas an insight into the tradition-rich Konzerthaus. In the past years, over 3,500 children have taken part so far. Many feedbacks from the invited educational institutions show that the children come into contact with classical music for the first time ever in the context of the Kinderklassikgala.

This year, we enchant the little guests aged 6 to 12 with the musical theatre piece "beschenkt", an Advent calendar of music, dance and words.

Several times a year, the Konzerthaus organises very special musical performances for young patients and their parents at the HELIOS Klinikum Berlin-Buch.
Prof. Dr. med. Lothar Schweigerer, Chief Physician of the Clinic for Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, is pleased about the great commitment of the Konzerthaus: "It is a need for us, especially for the chronically ill children during the long inpatient treatment period and also afterwards, in the outpatient, to provide positive experiences that make them strong again. Thank you to the wonderful commitment of the Konzerthaus!"

Thanks to the donations of our chair sponsors, we are able to fund at least four one-year scholarships for outstanding talents every year.
