crescendo 2025: InnenSaiten [EN]
Saite an Seite: Händel! (and more) – crescendo
The Chamber Choir of the Arts and the Institute for Early Music are guests at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. The evening will be encircled by two outstanding works by George Frideric Handel: the Concerto grosso op. 3 No. 4 and the Chandos Anthem My song shall be alway. Further pieces for Ascension Day for choir a cappella, baroque chamber music works and contemporary pieces for recorder ensemble complete round off the program and fill the shimmering blue interior of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church with interwoven sounds from four centuries that will make the soul float.

Support us!
The Berlin Senate has imposed enormous savings targets on public universities. You know that: An excellent musical education consists not only of the many hours of solitary practising and lessons by professors, but also, to a large extent, of performing in front of an audience. This inherent part of the training is also the opportunity for you to attend almost always free concerts at a high level. We don't want to have to cut back on this. By attending our events, you can also show those responsible in politics that music and art are meaningful for every society. And if you can: support us with small or large donations. The donations are used for teaching, tuning, transport, advertising material, for our music festival crescendo - wherever no funds can be spent at the moment. This directly benefits our students and also you as the audience, as this is the only way we can maintain events of this calibre and variety.
Thank you very much!
