Konzerthaus

Music moves people and brings them together – whether it is the symphony concerts of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin with our chief conductor Joana Mallwitz and guests such as honorary conductor Iván Fischer, or innovative educational formats. Regardless of previous education or social background, through Konzerthaus Berlin we want people to have the opportunity to get to know classical music or to pursue their long-standing passion.

In her “Expeditionskonzerten”, Joana Mallwitz first takes the audience inside great works at the piano. Then the whole piece is performed together with the Konzerthausorchester. At the always enthusiastically attended “Mittendrin” concerts with Iván Fischer as conductor and presenter, the orchestra sits spread out in the stalls and the audience sits directly in between.

From afternoon Espresso Concerts with excellent young talents to “2x hören”, which brings contemporary music closer to the audience, from the Mozart matinee (presented by KHO musicians) with musical childcare to public rehearsals especially for school classes – we want to be a concert hall for all of Berlin and beyond.

This is reflected in our festivals: in the 25/26 season, we are continuing our tradition of dedicating festivals to important figures in the music world with our tribute to Nadia & Lili Boulanger. “Vom Anfangen” (“Of Beginnings”) is the theme of the second festival in 25/26, in which the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and Berlin’s independent scene explore new beginnings, chaos, and creation from baroque to pop.

Our mission also includes networking and regular cooperation with artists and ensembles of various styles from the diverse local independent scene.

With its digital programme, the Konzerthaus Berlin offers a variety of low-threshold opportunities to prepare for or follow up on concert visits and to enter into dialogue.
