Cross-epochal program for baroque and percussion ensembles

"Berlin Tracks – Music of the City in the Konzerthaus" is the name of the new series. In four concerts this season, the paths of musicians and ensembles from Berlin will intersect, experimentally combining classical Western music from various centuries with styles that all have a home in this city – from folklore to soul to electropop.

Berlin Tracks aims to inspire, connect communities, and invite listeners to follow the diverse musical paths that together make up the soundtrack of our city.

The ensemble CONTINUUM, led by Berlin harpsichordist Elina Albach, continually finds surprising connections to the present in early music.

This project interweaves psalm settings by Chiara Margarita Cozzolani with a new arrangement of Steve Reich's epic work "Tehillim" (Hebrew for "Psalms") to create stories of individual suffering and the emancipatory power of music.
