Making music together
The subscription orchestra is now called the DSO Community Orchestra!
They come from a wide variety of professions: they are doctors, broadcasting staff or students during the day, but every Monday evening they come together in the DSO’s rehearsal hall to make music together. Since 2003, the DSO Community Orchestra (formerly known as ›Abo-Orchester‹) has been providing its musically ambitious friends with the opportunity to rehearse and perform challenging concert literature under professional guidance.
Originally intended for subscribers to the DSO, the DSO subscribers’ orchestra soon opened up for a number of amateur musicians. Not only the classic audience of subscribers is making music here, but in the meantime also students and former DSO orchestra professionals aged 20 to 82 are part of it. It has become an integrative project, a large community of people around the DSO who get along splendidly through and with music. To emphasise this aspect, the ensemble will henceforth have a new name: it is looking forward to the next 20 years as the DSO Community Orchestra.
The ensemble is led by Heinz Radzischewski, the former assistant principal trumpeter of the DSO, who initiated it. Many of his colleagues are regularly involved with the project as teachers and soloists, and the principal conductor occasionally holds a rehearsal. Concerts in Berlin and guest performances document the high level of the collaboration.
