Apart from its concerts in Berlin, the DSO is also present in many guest appearances in international music life. The orchestra has held performances in the major concert halls of Europe, North and South America, the Near, Middle and Far East. In cooperation with Deutsche Welle and the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs the orchestra gave concerts in Brazil and Argentina, in Japan, China, Malaysia, Abu Dhabi and Eastern Europe. The DSO is also guesting at national and international festivals such as Rheingau Musik Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival, the Salzburg Festival, the BBC Proms and the Beethovenfest Bonn.
In the 2026/2027 season, in addition to its concerts in Berlin, the DSO will again be a presence in musical life both nationally and international. A tour in early July this year will take the orchestra, its Conductor Laureate Kent Nagano and the pianist Mao Fujita to the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, to the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, to the Klavierfest Ruhr in Wuppertal, to Kissinger Sommer and to Passau for Europäische Wochen. Shortly thereafter, the orchestra can be experienced with its future Music Director Kazuki Yamada and the saxophonist Asya Fateyeva at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and the Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte. In March 2027, the DSO, the conductor Pablo Heras-Casado and the pianist Francesco Piemontesi are guests in Antwerp and in May at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg with Music Director Kazuki Yamada and cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras.
