RundfunkchorLounge 26/27 »Clean Water and Dirty Business«

Rundfunkchor Berlin

For many people, water is not something to be taken for granted – more than 800 million people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. At Heimathafen Neukölln, the RundfunkchorLounge explores how business and politics deal with this resource through discussions with experts and choral music. Afterward, you can wind down the evening at the bar with some relaxing lounge music.
