Lunchkonzert

Just popping along to a concert at the Philharmonie, on the spur of the moment during your lunch break – and with free admission too: you can do just that every Wednesday at 1 pm between September and June. The programme lasts 40 to 50 minutes and features chamber music, piano pieces or, on occasion, a percussion duo – everything from Tchaikovsky to tango is included. Amongst other works, this lunch concert will feature three pieces by the composer Nadia Boulanger. Performers often include members of the Berlin Philharmonic or the Karajan Academy, as well as guest musicians from the German Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Berlin or Berlin’s music academies. As is to be expected at a lunchtime concert, catering is available from 12 noon until just before the concert begins, offering food that is both high-quality and reasonably priced.
