Unterm Radar 2 - unadapted music in the Eastern Bloc is the continuation of the concert series with 4 concerts in the Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonie. An ambitious project focuses on non-conformist composers who composed in the countries east of the "Iron Curtain", rubbed up against the political conditions and cultural-political guidelines, despaired of them or resigned. Their names are still largely unknown in Europe, their works have been hushed up, marginalised and discredited - they have passed under the radar of public perception.

A highlight will be the rediscovered cello concerto by the Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer with soloist Bartosz Koziak, while brilliant accents will be set by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra's Phillip Bohnen with the unappreciated violin concerto by Kurt Schwaen and Alexander Bader with the clarinet concerto by the Latvian composer Romualds Kalsons. Another unique programme with the participation of the children's choir of the Deutsche Oper Berlin is dedicated primarily to the Czech Miloslav Kabeláč.

The Kammersymphonie Berlin under the direction of Jürgen Bruns expands its repertoire with a variety of unearthed musical treasures from the Czech Republic, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Latvia, Russia and the former GDR - which, as pioneers of New Music, have long belonged in the repertoire of Classical Modernism and will finally see their performance!
