In order to make a living from composing, composers very often had to submit to the ideas of their principals, write commissioned works, and fulfil stylistic or casting requirements.



Some, however, did not like this and resisted in their own way. In the last chamber music concert of the 2025/26 season, the academics present works by musical personalities who broke the mould: Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Dmitri Shostakovich.



Inspired by productions from the opera repertoire, the orchestra's musicians put together six dramaturgically conceived programmes that are unparalleled in Berlin in terms of their musical range.


From solo violin to songs to percussion ensembles, you will experience surprising concerts that are charmingly and knowledgeably moderated by the curating colleagues.
