3. ForumKonzert

The third Forum Concert of the season takes place at the colorful Rosenkranz Basilica in Berlin-Steglitz, designed in the Neo-Byzantine style – one of four unusual "facade churches" that the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin is featuring for its Forum Concerts this season. As has been customary for this series since 2004, the choir developed the program itself in collaboration with musical partners.

Wayne Marshall

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin Weill, Gershwin, Wallen

Wayne Marshall guides you through a century of American music as both conductor and pianist: In addition to the German premiere of Errollyn Wallen’s "The Elements" – which premiered at the BBC Proms in 2025, where Wallen had already performed in 1998 as the first Black woman ever to do so – the program features Kurt Weill’s suite from the musical "Lady in the Dark" and two works by George Gershwin: his legendary "Rhapsody in Blue" and "Porgy and Bess: A Symphonic Picture," whose "Summertime" aria has been familiar to everyone since the interpretations by Ella Fitzgerald and Janis Joplin, if not before. Hardly anyone is as well-suited for this occasion as Wayne Marshall, an absolute Gershwin authority.

RundfunkchorLounge 26/27 »Let’s Talk About Sex«

Rundfunkchor Berlin

No topic in culture is both as central and as rarely discussed as sex. Although it affects literally everyone, people still blush when talking about it. In his farewell season as chief conductor, Gijs Leenaars, together with the Rundfunkchor Berlin, tackles precisely this topic. Amid choral and chamber music pieces ranging from the more to the less explicit – such as Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur’s twelve-part setting of the Song of Songs – 3sat’s "Kulturzeit" host Vivian Perkovic explores the topic in discussions with experts.

widmann-hardenberger-rsb-26-27

Jörg Widmann & Håkan Hardenberger

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Widmann, Mendelssohn Bartholdy

What Jörg Widmann can’t do: hardly anyone knows. What he can do, however: conduct, compose, and play the clarinet. In this concert at the Berlin Philharmonie, he demonstrates all of these talents. Håkan Hardenberger – for whom Widmann composed his trumpet concerto "Towards Paradise" – will perform this very work together with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. The program also features Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 1 – written by a composer who was just 15 years old at the time.

yamada-berben-dso-26-27

Yamada, Berben u.a.

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester BerlinRundfunkchor Berlin Wainwright

Wainwright’s "Dream Requiem" brings many elements together: the COVID-19 pandemic, a love of Verdi, the fulfillment of a lifelong compositional dream, and a timpani that has the final say. Kazuki Yamada will bring this monumental work – which premiered in 2024 – to the stage of the Philharmonie during his first season as the new chief conductor of the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, together with the Rundfunkchor Berlin, narrator Iris Berben, and soprano Regula Mühlemann.

Song Exchange 2027 »Everything okay?« – Concert for secondary schools

Rundfunkchor BerlinBerlin secondary school students

What does growing older feel like for today’s youth? These are uncertain times, and they’re radically different from the past. About 1,500 children explored this topic as part of the "Liederbörse" educational project organized by the Rundfunkchor Berlin. You can hear the results of this project by Berlin high school students in the Chamber Music Hall of the Philharmonie – performed together with the Rundfunkchor Berlin!

RIAS Kammerchor Berlin

This Friday at a quarter to six, the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin, conducted by Risto Joost, invites you to St. Marien Church for a very relaxed after-work concert – the perfect way to ease into the weekend. Marcel Johannes Kits on cello and Marcel Andreas Ober on organ will accompany the choir.

jurowski-kobekina-26-27

Vladimir Jurowski & Anastasia Kobekina

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Glière, Weinberg, Ljatoschynskyj, Sylwestrow

Glière, who was born in Kyiv, was Ljatoschynskyj’s teacher, who in turn was Silvestrov’s teacher. The three form a teacher-student chain of musical excellence. Although Weinberg does not belong to this lineage, he shares with Lyatoshynsky and Silvestrov the experience of persecution, censorship, and forced conformity in the Soviet Union – much like Shostakovich, who helped the Jewish refugee from Poland obtain Russian citizenship. Thus, this entire concert – conducted by Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski and featuring cellist Anastasia Kobekina – is all about resistance in Eastern Europe.
