“Tutti Pro” is an outreach programme that brings together youth orchestras and professional orchestras within the framework of Jeunesses Musicales Germany and unisono.

The close connection between the Konzerthausorchester Berlin and the Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Music High School goes back decades, when the orchestra was still called the Berliner Sinfonie-Orchester and the school was a special school for music in the GDR. Many professional musicians who trained there were taught by our (former) orchestra members, and quite a few of them now play with us themselves. The KHO has been a sponsor this special school orchestra for many years. Our musicians conduct sectional rehearsals, offer workshops, and play side by side with the students in a concert every season. The renowned percussionist Alexej Gerassimez, who plays the marimba and vibraphone, is a former student who has also made a name for himself as a composer for his instruments. His works are framed by Erich Wolfgang Korngold's effective musical tribute to Johann Strauss from 1953 - a homage to fin de siècle Vienna - as well as the Rosenkavalier Suite with some of the most beautiful passages from Richard Strauss' famous opera.
