›Schöne Töne Live‹

›Schöne Töne Live‹

Composer Sven Helbig presents everything he encounters, notices, receives, and likes on his musical travels to the audience of his ›Schöne Töne‹ (Beautiful Sounds) weekly programme on the radioeins radio station. Here, electronica, ambient, new or ancient music meet classical orchestral music in an original and effortless way; here, you can experience an adventure trip through music from all over the world and from all times. For the second season, Helbig will perform his ›Schöne Töne‹ programme live twice, together with the DSO, at the Haus des Rundfunks broadcasting centre in Berlin. He moderates the evening himself in an entertaining and enjoyable way, welcomes exciting musical guests who can be experienced together with the orchestra, and shares anecdotes from his almost infinite treasure trove of musical stories.

Season concert ›DSO Schulmusiken‹

With ›Klassik’s Not Dead‹ the DSO provides music education directly at Berlin schools, including the Beethoven-Gymnasium, the Canisius-Kolleg, the Droste-Hülshoff-Gymnasium, the Heinz-Berggruen-Gymnasium, and the Salvator Catholic School. In weekly lessons, members of the orchestra coach chamber music ensembles of all ages. By now, more than a dozen DSO musicians are involved. Some of them mentor the pupils for several years, supporting the musical process from the rehearsal of the works to technical questions and how to play together in a chamber music setting. The results of the collaboration are presented in a public chamber concert every school year.

Symphonic Mob – Berlins größtes Spontanorchester

How about making music together with orchestra professionals? How about experiencing the euphoria that flows through you when hundreds of people get together to make music for everyone as a joint endeavour? Anyone who’d like to can become part of the ›Symphonic Mob‹. Anyone who plays an instrument or likes to sing can participate in Berlin’s largest spontaneous orchestra – no matter whether in everyday life you play in an amateur orchestra or a big band, in a brass band, or you sing in a choir or just at home. So that as many people as possible can take part, there will be – as in the past – simplified parts you can download, in addition to the original sheet music; joint rehearsals with DSO musicians ensure optimum preparation for the big day. The conductor Catherine Larsen-Maguire will head up the eleventh ›Symphonic Mob‹. The German Youth Choir will also join in for the very first time.
