We very much regret to have to inform you that, on the basis of the decisions taken by the Federal Government and the States, we are suspending concert operations up to and including May 9, 2021. Since all venues may not be opened to the public during the above-mentioned period, this applies equally to all our concerts.
The DSO launched its first podcast on the topic 'Berlin needs music!'. In four Thursday episodes, music journalist Julia Kaiser talks with music physician and physiologist Prof. Dr. med. Eckart Altenmüller about music as a basic existential human need. Listen to the (German languange) podcast on the DSO PLAYER as well as on Spotify and Soundcloud, published on 18.3, 25.3, 1.4. and 8.4.
On 12 March a new music film by the DSO had its premiere. With 'Struggle with the Devil' (Im Kampf mit dem Teufel), director Frederic Wake-Walker and visual artist Ergo Phizmiz bring to expressionistic life the one-act operas 'Sancta Susanna' by Paul Hindemith and 'Slzy Nože' (The Tears of the Knife) by Bohuslav Martinů, as well as the contemporary orchestral work 'Sinuous Voices' by Ondřej Adámek. Through collages and animations rich in references and innuendos, in combination with footage shot both in the Green Screen Studio and in the Kleiner Sendesaal of the rbb in February, an associative visual world is opened up that is inspired by the 1920s and congenially presents both music and content.
The film was co-produced with EuroArts and cooperation with Deutschlandfunk Kultur. On the DSO PLAYER it remains available for free as video-on-demand until April 9.
