The sound of jingle bells can be heard in the distance, the air is filled with the scents of Christmas trees and aromatic bakes, the world is beginning to sparkle with colours and lights, and the houses, gardens, forests and fields are wrapped in a white feather quilt. And at the Philharmonic? FeNek knows that the magic of Christmas lies also in the unique music, which evokes memories of meeting loved ones, singing carols together and having fun in the snow or on the ice. Christmas is about images and sometimes whole films of recorded stories. If you want to feel that special atmosphere, come to the concert at the Warsaw Philharmonic. When magical snow starts to fall in the Concert Hall, the stage and the auditorium will fill with the sounds of carols, winter songs and tunes from those favourite Christmas films we love watching each year. To this concert, bring a hand-made bauble. Bring to the concert… a hand-made bauble

In the Music Theatre: Pinocchio

Let’s play ‘hot or cold’. Do you know a little boy who’s just getting to know people and the world and to learn about everything? Cold? He has a completely hard body but a soft heart? Still cold? I’ll also say that the little boy has a tendency to err from the truth, and with every lie he tells, his nose gets longer and longer. Warmer? So I’d add that this little boy has good intentions, but succumbs to various temptations – just like all of us! And his Daddy carved him out of an old piece of wood that talked. Hot! Yes, the protagonist of our musical play will be the world’s most famous marionette. Come and meet Pinocchio! Parts: Karolina Iwańska-Paśnicka Wróżka, pani Rosaura Małgorzata Godlewska Lisica, Knocica Marek Murawa Policjant, Dyrektor Teatru, Papuga, Nauczyciel, Dyrektor Cyrku Grzegorz Hardej Pinokio

Music has the amazing property that it can take us to any corner of the world, without leaving home. FeNek, who has already made thousands of journeys, knows this very well, although he rarely leaves his beloved Philharmonic. Whenever he dreams of a distant voyage, he invites exceptional artists to the stage, who travel to distant countries with every work they perform. And this time will be no different – we will hear Balkan, klezmer, Polish and Spanish rhythms, but not only that... We’ll be whisked away by clarinets, pianos and percussion instruments. If you want to find out where else the music will take us, come to the Philharmonic. And don't forget to bring along... a hand-made rattle. Bring to the concert… a hand-made rattle

The spring wind rustles in the trees, sings merrily in birdsong, chases the clouds away, turns somersaults, fills the fields and meadows with sound... This concert will be filled with music conjured up by wind instruments: the singing flute, the mysterious clarinet, the lyrical oboe, the playful bassoon, the gentle horn and energetic percussion. We’ll blow notes, dance in rhythms, visit the court of a Chinese empress and listen to raindrops falling. Who is curious to know whether the sounds of the air are light as a feather or heavy as a storm? Who wants to find out how to conjure music from the air and look for spring in it?

Kołysz się i tocz! Do you know such a dance? Its funny name sounds like an instruction, and the whole world knows it – it’s rock and roll. This lively dance was born in North America. During our concert, we’ll talk about the energetic music and about the great friendship and passion that unites two friends. They danced rock and roll from an early age, devoting all their free time to practising. Each tournament brought them closer to realising their dream of making their favourite dance their main occupation and the purpose of their life. Are you curious how this story ended?

The Philharmonic is always filled with different and colourful sounds, especially during carnival season! That’s why FeNek makes sure to celebrate in a special way and invite wonderful guests to the ball. This time he’ll be visited by such distinguished guests as Pocahontas, Alladin, the Lion King and even Elsa. Together, we’ll discover the tunes that entertained or encouraged them during their adventures on the big screen. Perhaps those sounds will enable us to fly on a magic carpet to Africa, see the colours borne by wind or find out what can be heard at the bottom of the sea? Impossible? Anything can happen in the world of music – all you have to do is prick up your ears and be curious about new adventures. Come to the concert at the Philharmonic Hall and don’t forget to bring... a fairytale costume. Bring to the concert… a carnival disguise

Tone, sound, melody, rhythm – where do they come from? Instrument, voice, orchestra, choir – why do they sound the way they do? What do dots, dashes and flourishes mean? How do you decipher the language of notes and scores? Music is full of mysteries to be explored and riddles to be solved. If you want to take up the challenge and turn into real musical explorers, come to the Warsaw Philharmonic to meet FeNek the Fox. A detective mustn’t overlook even the smallest detail, so in order for you to not only hear but also see the clues left by FeNek, bring binoculars with you. Bring to the concert… small binoculars

Do you like listening to stories? Curling up in an armchair and casting your thoughts far away? Well, we have for you stories turned into sounds. Some of them take place among us, and we recognise in them familiar faces and situations. They take place in the world around us and can happen to anyone. But there are also fairy tales, which carry us far away, where no one has ever been before, beyond the mountains, beyond the forests, to the land of imagination, which will determine what our fairytale world will be like and who we will meet there. We invite you to join us on a musical journey from history to fable.

“The 75th birthday” ‒ A matinee to celebrate the Friends of the Berliner Philharmoniker association

Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 11:00

Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)

Blechbläserensemble der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Streicherensemble der Berliner Philharmoniker (Ensemble), Vokalhelden (Choir), Berlin Philharmonic Winds (Ensemble)

A matinee to celebrate the association's anniversary75 years ago, on 17 October 1949, our association was founded. Its aim was to build a new concert hall for the Berliner Philharmoniker, who had become homeless during World War II. The “Friends” formed a large citizens' initiative and, with their contributions and donation campaigns, made a significant impact on the opening of the Philharmonie, which was designed by Hans Scharoun, in 1963. But there was still a lot to do afterwards: The chamber music hall opened its doors in 1987, the orchestra received valuable instruments, and many major projects such as the Philharmoniker's Europakonzert were realised with our support. We want to celebrate this round birthday: with prominent guests and, of course, with great music played by members of the Berliner Philharmoniker. Afterwards, we will celebrate the anniversary together in the foyer.
