Info

At our youngSTAR Festival, Berlin’s school ensembles take over the stages of the Philharmonie Berlin for four days, performing in front of capacity audiences. Once again we invited school orchestras, jazz ensembles, rock and pop bands from Berlin to take part in our four-day festival from June 17-20, 2025. 

Berlin schoolchildren in the audience are invited to hear and applaud the ensembles in what is often their first performance at the Philharmonie Berlin. At the Vokalhelden concert, all the children in the hall will be able to sing along.
