Musikfest Berlin
The concert season in Berlin is set to kick off with Musikfest Berlin! Hosted by Berliner Festspiele together with the Foundation Berliner Philharmoniker, this year, the festival pays homage to the composer Ludwig van Beethoven - and the Philharmonie becomes a place where his music meets those of composers of our time.

Musikfest Berlin faced many challenges due to the coronavirus restrictions imposed in the country. However, by making a few alterations to their original festival programme, they were not only able to go ahead with the festival this year, but were also able to maintain the core of the original plans
The originally planned dates of Musikfest have also been changed and this year the festival will take place from August 28 - September 20, making the programme a week longer than usual.
