These creative projects are the heart of our education-programme. They are interdisciplinary and seek to investigate the many different perspectives within the repertoire of the orchestra. Herein the various facets are suggested by the particular name of a project, for example Music-ART, MusicFILM or REMIX. Scheduled to precede the Berlin Philharmonic’s own evening programmes, the presentations of the education concerts take place in the Philharmonie, as well as other venues and institutions in Berlin such as prisons, schools or the arena in the Berlin district of Treptow. Here in the arena the yearly dance project creates a forum for people of all generations to experience a grand musical introduction to the whole orchestra, to community dance as well as the chance to interact and perform together.
