About us

Today’s Konzerthausorchester Berlin was founded in 1952 as the municipal Berliner Sinfonie-Orchester (BSO).

The Project

Konzerthaus@Berlin

The Konzerthaus Berlin is embarking on a new chapter – reaching out into the city not merely through another dialogue format, but through a profound shift towards a new institutional identity. The aim is not only to affirm its place as a central and open concert hall on the Gendarmenmarkt, but also to engage meaningfully in lasting collaborations within Berlin’s urban life, taking in impulses from local neighbourhoods, diverse musical cultures, and the lived realities of the city. How can a concert hall build truly productive relationships with such a diverse urban society? Not as a one-way initiator, but in the spirit of genuine, mutual learning. To pursue this question, the Konzerthaus will initiate its first partnerships in various districts – designed to be long-term, built on equal footing, and shaped by local needs and potentials. In this way, decentralised presences will complement the opening of the house – enabling continuous transformation, both internally and externally, in step with the city’s dynamic rhythms.
