Sir Simon Rattle forced to cancel concerts. Matthias Pintscher takes over

Sir Simon Rattle has unfortunately had to cancel his appearances conducting the 16-18 February concerts as he has to undergo a minor surgical procedure during that week.

The Berliner Philharmoniker are very grateful to Matthias Pintscher for taking over the concerts as part of the Biennale. György Ligeti’s Apparitions will no longer be performed, the other works remain unchanged. The programme is now as follows:

Thu 16.02.23 20:00
Fri 17.02.23 20:00
Sat 18.02.23 19:00
