Concert information
Info
Our organ turns 60 – and we’re celebrating this milestone with a late-night concert featuring the young organist Jan Liebermann and the Berliner Philharmoniker’s principal flautist Emmanuel Pahud. The programme includes popular works by Johann Sebastian Bach, among them two flute sonatas, the famous Toccata in D minor, and the virtuosic Sinfonia from the “Ratswahl” Cantata. Max Reger’s transcription of the Prelude and Fugue in B minor from The Well-Tempered Clavier leads into more romantic realms, before the full splendour of our organ unfolds in an arrangement of the celebrated Chaconne.

Royal Highness
The organ in the Philharmonie Berlin tunrs 60
The organ of Berlin's Philharmonie is not just an acoustic marvel; it is also visually astonishing. Its expressive and elegant design is intended to complement the hall’s internal architecture. It has more than 6,5000 pipes, allowing it to create an almost infinite range of tone colours. For more than sixty years, this instrument has watched over the main auditorium of the Philharmonie, but its journey through time has not always been a smooth one.
