Perspectives for String Orchestra

The Capital Symphony Orchestra (HSO) was founded in 2015 under the direction of music teacher Dr. phil. Alexander Saier with the aim of bringing about a refreshing change in the Berlin music scene.



It is a playground for young professionals from all over the world who are open to new projects and unconventional experiences. This unique constellation proves to be the perfect addition to working with children, young people and young adults as part of JUGEND DIRIGIERT.
