Sir Yehudi Menuhin once said about the power of vocal music: »In singing, we humans are creative and creative beings of sound. We have the ability to animate our world and our actions through singing, to give love, joy, hope and confidence, but also to sing the pain from our souls.« Last season, we experienced how much our audience loves to take part in a concert and to sing surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd – and we also love such enthusiastic and spine-tingling events. That’s why, after the great success of the sing-along concert, there is now a sequel, turning listeners into performers. Regardless of whether you already sing in an ensemble or just like to sing alone in the shower: we are again offering the stage for concentrated vocal power, a strong feeling of togetherness and lots of moments of happiness. Everyone is cordially invited to join in a huge choir of over 1,000 people and sing selected numbers from Handel’s popular oratorio »Messiah« at the top of their voices as well as wonderful Christmas songs in preparation for the festive season. They will be superbly supported by popular Bamberg-based professionals from the Bavarian Radio Choir and, of course, by our orchestral musicians – and Howard Arman will once again provide the musical finishing touches with his likeable style of witty and humorous announcements. It is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience with lots of fun, a catchy tune or two and balm for the soul – after all, Friedrich Schiller wrote the famous line in his poem about the »power of song«: »Every sorrow’s wrinkles disappear as long as the magic of song prevails.«

This all-Strauss programme spans the composer’s entire life, from the intoxicating vitality of Don Juan, composed at the age of 24, to the melancholy retrospection and farewell that he transmuted into beauty in the Four Last Songs in 1948, a year before his death. The third piece on the programme, Thus Spake Zarathustra, is perhaps the most ambitious of Strauss’s tone-poems: the clash of two disparate tonalities (C major and B major) and the juxtaposition of rigorous musical forms and philosophically-tinged intertitles lend a spellbinding force to this Nietzschean homage. Even without specific references to the historical Zarathustra, Nietzsche and Strauss did much to make Zoroastrianism better known in Europe.
EXPERIENCING THE FUTURE THROUGH MUSIC The RSB and the Futurium will bring the House of Futures to life in a very special way at a concert. Musical contributions set a new scene for the exhibition and bring the exhibits to life in sound at a late hour.At night in the museum… Music can be heard at various locations in the exhibition and the Lab. As soloists or in small groups, the musicians perform pieces by various composers. There is no standard programme. Our visitors can let the music carry them through the museum.The Futurium is about the future, even about “futures”, as the spectacular new building in the centre of Berlin understands itself. The exhibition with living scenarios, a lab for trying things out and a forum for community dialogue offer space to present and discuss foreseeable, conceivable and desirable futures.
