Enrico Palascino, born in 1982 in Turin, has been a member of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2011. He regularly performs as a chamber musician and soloist, and also works as a substitute with the Hessian Radio, Bavarian Radio, West German Radio, and the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. He began his violin studies at the age of 8 and later studied with Giacomo Agazzini at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi di Torino. He then continued his studies with Valeri Gradow in Mannheim and Stephan Picard in Berlin, supported by the Claudio Abbado Music Foundation DESONO.
In parallel, he completed a supplementary chamber music program with Susanne Rabenschlag in Mannheim and became a prizewinner at the Federal Competition with the Yuval Quartet. This led to performances at the Schwetzinger Festspiele, live recordings with Deutschlandradio, and tours in Spain and Italy.
In 2016, he followed his family to Namibia. There, he co-founded a music school for disadvantaged children in Windhoek (YONA) with singer Gretel Coetzee. He also contributed to the re-establishment of the Namibian National Symphony Orchestra (NNSO), organized concerts, composed and arranged Namibian folk songs, and worked publicly to foster a better understanding of classical music in Namibia.
Since returning to Berlin in August 2018, he has continued his involvement with YONA and the NNSO. In his free time, he is passionate about training for triathlons.

The concert with members of the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester and the Rundfunkchor Berlin illuminates a fascinating section of Jewish music and Jewish culture in the 1920s in Berlin.
Era of the 1920s in Berlin. Until the National Socialists seized power in 1933, Berlin was considered one of the most culturally exciting cities in the world for about a decade. Right in the centre: Kurt Weill, Bertolt Brecht and their Dreigroschenoper. But the Jewish cantors Arno Nadel, Mark Warschawski and Joseph Achron also wrote Berlin music history in an endearing way.
Ballrooms have had a great time in Berlin. Without the plush dance halls, the Golden Twenties would probably not have become the cult brand that it is today, and which even had an impact on the founding years of radio. The RSB opens up two of Berlin’s lovingly maintained ballrooms for selected chamber concerts: the Ballhaus Wedding and the Ballhaus Neukölln, today’s “Heimathafen”.
Both mark stations on an imaginary line between the orchestra’s two radio houses during its 100-year history: the Haus des Rundfunks in Charlottenburg and the Funkhaus Nalepastraße in Oberschöneweide.
