    Info

    Our Artist in Residence Janine Jansen loves chamber music – because the musicians grow together, develop a shared understanding of sound, and come closer to one another in a special way. “Trust not only creates a feeling of security,” says the violinist, “but also the possibility to take risks.” Together with members of the Berliner Philharmoniker and the pianist Sunwook Kim, she performs Johannes Brahms’s late-Romantic Trio in E-flat major, in which the composer combines the violin with two of his favourite instruments: horn and piano. Bound to the same era’s ideal of sound is George Enescu’s String Octet, a monumental work full of intimate moments and grand symphonic gestures.

    In matters large and small
    The Chamber Music tradition of the Berliner Philharmoniker 

    Blue concentric circles radiate outward on a light blue background, resembling ripples in water or a topographic map. The image has a soft, abstract, and watercolor-like quality.

    Chamber music means engaging in a dialogue between equals and creating a shared artistic identity as a group. Naturally, the musicians of the Berliner Philharmoniker are passionate about this art form. Violist Julia Gartemann and cellist Knut Weber talk about their experiences.
