Our Shostakovich concerts in Berlin 2024 & 2025
It was clear that Dmitri Shostakovich had a bright future ahead of him at the latest with his Symphony No. 1 in F minor, which brought the then 19-year-old world fame. He has retained this fame ever since. You can hear the reason for this in the Shostakovich concerts of our 4 top ensembles, which are performed for you in Berlin's great venues.

Shostakovich concerts by the ROC in Berlin
With his work, Shostakovich succeeded in becoming a true biographer of Russian history despite the constant fear of death and censorship under Stalin. However, his compositions go far beyond the confrontation with Stalinism - his incredibly diverse oeuvre resembles an “apocalyptic soundtrack to the 20th century”, as Gottfried Blumenstein once described it. In Berlin, the ROC ensembles will perform Shostakovich concerts for you, bringing this musical venture, which Shostakovich's music still is, to life in a completely new way.
