Literature, like music, reflects the world and our lives. With our new series, Satzwechsel, we place the two in dialogue. Three times each season, in collaboration with the internationales literaturfestival berlin, we invite renowned authors to the Kammermusiksaal. They read from their latest works and discuss their writing. Music runs alongside: members of the Berliner Philharmoniker perform chamber works that echo and extend the themes of the texts. To open the series on 7 September, we welcome a very special guest: Nobel Prize‑winning author Han Kang.
