Our Schubert concerts in Berlin 2025

Although Franz Schubert died at the age of 31, he left the world a wonderful, rich and varied oeuvre, which was only appreciated in its entirety after his death. In their Schubert concerts, the four top ROC ensembles revive his music and fill the halls of Berlin's impressive venues with Schubert's stirring sounds.

The next Schubert concerts of the ROC ensembles in Berlin can be found here from mid-July with the publication of the new season.

Schubert concerts by the ROC in Berlin

As if Schubert had known that his life would not be a long one, he threw himself into composing his works from a young age. His first opera and his Mass No. 1 both date from 1814, when Franz Schubert was 17 years old. In the years that followed, a rich, varied and impressive body of work poured forth from Schubert's genius, which the four top ensembles of the ROC will bring to your ears in rousing concerts.

Schubert concerts - less thunder, more lyricism

Franz Schubert's work occupies a special position within classical music. Schubert was a pianist, but not a showman like Liszt. He did not revolutionize the symphony like Beethoven - but the lyricism in him was radical and wanted to get out there.
The genre in which Schubert produced the most and which he also influenced the most was the Lied - he left over 600 of them to posterity, some of which, such as the “Erlkönig” or “Gretchen am Spinnrad”, are very well known - at least today.
Although Schubert was not unknown during his lifetime, he only filled concert halls after his death. He did so with his songs, but also with his “Unfinished Symphony” and his “Great” C major Symphony, which was discovered and celebrated by Robert Schumann and premiered by Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.
What Schubert was not granted in his lifetime in terms of concerts, our ROC ensembles make up for in their Schubert concerts in Berlin!
