Our classical concerts in Berlin in November 2026

One thing can help above all against the beginning of the winter blues: classical music! In the Philharmonie Berlin or the Konzerthaus you won't see the gloomy sky, and timpani and trumpets will make you forget the tapping of the rain. Attend one of the magnificent concerts of our four top ensembles and experience countless high points of classical music, rather than just sitting at home holding a hot cup of tea!

Our concert highlights in November 2026

8 Nov Sunday, 20:00 Konzerthaus Berlin Tickets
Daniel Richter Horst 2003 Bleistift, Oel, Tesa auf Papier 425 x 383 cm

Stanislav Kochanovsky & Jörg Widmann

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Widmann, Rachmaninoff

One of today’s most celebrated German musicians meets one of the most successful Russian composers of the past: clarinetist and composer Jörg Widmann performs his own Fantasy for Clarinet and, together with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin, his "Elegy." This will be followed by Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 1, whose premiere was conducted – and botched – by a drunk Alexander Glazunov (the debut hit Rachmaninoff so hard that he barely composed for three years). This will be different on this evening at the Konzerthaus Berlin!

Stasevska & Eberle

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin Thorvaldsdottir, Sibelius, Ligeti, Adams

From the mysterious atmosphere of Icelandic landscapes in Thorvaldsdottir’s "Archora," the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin takes you to Sibelius’s ethereal Violin Concerto, performed by Veronika Eberle at the Philharmonie Berlin. Ligeti’s "Atmosphères" then opens up an imaginary musical space without contours – only states, only timbres. The evening concludes with Adams’ "Become Ocean": with overlapping groups of instruments, it evokes the dark magic of the sea – and Adams’ warning that we might become the ocean ourselves sooner than we think. Conducting is the versatile and daring Finnish conductor Dalia Stasevska.

Über Brücken

RIAS Kammerchor Berlin Rautavaara, Thorvaldsdottir, Sandström

The RIAS Kammerchor Berlin is building a musical bridge between Finland, Estonia, Iceland, and Sweden. At the Gethsemanekirche in Prenzlauer Berg, choral music from Northern Europe will be performed – including works by Veljo Tormis, whose music is inextricably linked to the Singing Revolution in Estonia. Principal conductor Justin Doyle will lead the concert.

dso-gabel-bomsori-26

Gabel & Bomsori

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin Bruch, Bacewicz, Roussel, Ravel

An almost banned violin concerto – Max Bruch was annoyed that its success overshadowed his subsequent works and wanted to have it banned. Fortunately, he did not succeed: Bomsori Kim, who has already recorded the Bruch concerto for Deutsche Grammophon, performs it with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at the Philharmonie Berlin. This is followed by the German premiere of Grażyna Bacewicz’s far too rarely performed Polish Rhapsody. Roussel’s "Bacchus et Ariane" then leads into a sonic frenzy full of acoustic vertigo. The evening concludes with Ravel’s "Daphnis et Chloé," an adventurous work centered on untamed nature, pirates, and nymphs.

Vladimir Jurowski & Maria Ioudenitch

Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin Abazari, Bernstein, Strauss

Despite challenging circumstances, Iranian composer Sara Abazari has composed a new orchestral work for the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin. Principal conductor Vladimir Jurowski will premiere it at the Konzerthaus Berlin. It will be paired with Leonard Bernstein’s Serenade based on Plato’s “Symposium,” a celebration of love, performed by Maria Ioudenitch – a three-time competition winner in 2021 and one of the most fascinating young virtuosos of our time. The evening concludes with Strauss’s “Thus Spoke Zarathustra,” whose opening fanfare ranks among the most famous sounds in music history.
