    Konzerthaus Berlin

    from Berlin
    With its diverse offerings, the Konzerthaus Berlin aims to reach all population groups. About 500 events per year make the historic building at Gendarmenmarkt one of the most significant venues for classical music in the country. 300 of these are self-organized events, aimed at creating unique emotional experiences for both the large regular audience and new guests. The Konzerthausorchester Berlin performs up to 100 concerts – under the direction of chief conductor Joana Mallwitz or international guests, as well as with numerous high-profile soloists from home and abroad, including one Artist in Residence per season. Chamber concert series and educational formats with unusual setups and processes, festivals, and the extensive children's and youth program "Junges Konzerthaus" complement the classical symphony concerts. In the digital space, the Konzerthaus Berlin offers, for example, the award-winning monthly KHO livestream "Spielzeit" on twitch as an accessible way to get to know classical music. The Konzerthaus Berlin employs about 200 staff and musicians and is a non-legal entity of the State of Berlin.

    Konzerthaus Berlin: A Center for Music and Culture

    About Us

    The Konzerthaus Berlin, situated in the heart of Berlin on Gendarmenmarkt, is one of the most renowned concert venues in the world. With a rich history dating back to 1818, the Konzerthaus Berlin has evolved from a theater to a leading concert hall. After severe war damage, the building was reconstructed from 1977 to 1984 and reopened as a concert hall. Since 1994, it has carried its current name[3].
