Our classical concerts in Berlin in May 2025

In May, the classical music season slowly draws to an end. Our four ensembles will do everything in their power to confer a worthy musical backdrop to this end. You can experience it for yourself at one of our classical concerts in May!

Our concert highlights in May 2025

18 May Sunday, 20:00 Philharmonie Berlin Tickets

Vladimir Jurowski & Yunchan Lim

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Beethoven, Chopin, Brahms

In a sense, Chopin's 2nd Piano Concerto was a success even before it was premiered: a press representative got access to a private performance and praised the concerto in glowing terms! That the work more than deserves this praise will be shown by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin together with pianist Yunchan Lim.

4. ForumConcert

Hindemith

The last Forum Concert of the season takes the audience to the Ringkammerofenhalle, in which porcelain was baked for the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin. Works by Paul Hindemith – initially considered an enfant terrible – will be performed.

Honeck & Rana

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin Eisendle, Tschaikowsky, Shostakovich

Sunstroke in Death Valley – that's how the programme that the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin brings to the Philharmonie on this evening kicks off: "heliosis" is the name of Hannah Eisendle's piece, published in 2022. Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto and Shostakovich's 5th Symphony follow; the work is basically a "command to applaud" – music decreed by the dictator Stalin.
Piano Concert Shostakovich Tchaikovsky Symphony Concert
28 May Wednesday, 20:00 Konzerthaus Berlin Tickets

Nicholas Carter & MultiPiano

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Elgar, Ignaz Moscheles, Moscheles, Mendelssohn Bartholdy

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Ignaz Moscheles were not only pupil and teacher, but also very attached to one another, both as friends and musically. Together, they not only kicked off a Bach renaissance, but also composed several works. The Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin dedicates this evening's concert to this friendship.

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin Saariaho, Wagner

Lorin Maazel condenses 16 hours of Wagner into a 75-minute work. Not just for dyed-in-the-wool Wagnerians! It is preceded by Kaija Saariaho's 'Laterna Magica', in which light effects are transmuted into timbres almost cinematographically.
Wagner Symphony Concert

Abschlusskonzert Jubiläum »The Art of Choral Music«
