In the 2025/26 season, the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin once again invites audiences to 16 diverse events at the Haus des Rundfunks—the orchestra’s traditional main rehearsal venue. Visitors can expect a wide-ranging program featuring moderated rehearsals, family and school concerts, the inclusive series “Konzert für Alle” (“Concert for All”), as well as the successful new formats “radioeins-Erzählkonzerte” and “Jazzik.”

Moderated Rehearsals
Music lovers of all ages gain exciting insights into orchestra work and the works themselves at the moderated rehearsals. In 90-minute programs, conductors such as Vladimir Jurowski, Oksana Lyniv, and Leonard Slatkin, together with soloists including Christian Tetzlaff and the Rundfunkchor Berlin, guide audiences through masterpieces like Alban Berg’s Violin Concerto, Prokofiev’s 6th Symphony, Verdi’s Requiem, and Copland’s 3rd Symphony.

Family and School Concerts
The family and school concerts offer children of primary school age a colorful, age-appropriate program. In “Singing Christmas – In dulci jubilo,” the Rundfunk-Kinderchor des Händel-Gymnasiums and the audience together create a musical Advent Sunday. “Musikalische Zaubershow” (“The Musical Magic Show”) lets young listeners experience Benjamin Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra” and Goethe’s “Zauberlehrling” (“The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”) as sounding stories. “Musikalische Klangreise” (“Musical Sound Journey”) takes the audience to Latin America—moderator Malte Arkona and conductor Ana Maria Patiño-Osorio lead everyone on a rhythmic journey of discovery.

The Inclusive “Konzert für Alle” Series
Three concerts in the inclusive “Konzert für Alle” series enable people with and without cognitive or sensory impairments to participate in concert life. Under the direction of Steffen Tast and Catherine Larsen-Maguire, choreographer Andrew Greenwood, actors from Theater Thikwa, and sign language performer Jan Sell, among others, take part. The season opens on November 5th with Sibelius’s “The Tempest.”

Stroytelling concerts
The storytelling concerts combine world literature with symphonic music. In the 2025/26 season, the focus is on Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” (narrated by Meike Rötzer) and Pushkin’s “The Snowstorm” (narrated by Mechthild Großmann). Under the musical direction of Oscar Jockel and Vladimir Jurowski, literature comes to life in a unique way.

"Jazzik"
The Jazzik series once again presents outstanding soloists, ensembles, and conductors at the intersection of jazz and classical music. Multitasking is required—many artists perform as musicians, composers, conductors, and arrangers all at once. The focus is on the music of George Gershwin, including “Rhapsody in Blue,” “An American in Paris,” and classics from the American Songbook.

Look forward to inspiring encounters, musical diversity, and innovative concert formats at the Haus des Rundfunks—the creative heart of the RSB!
