The Magazine of the Berliner Philharmoniker

The Magazine of the Berliner Philharmoniker – ENGLISH EDITION

The magazine of the Berliner Philharmoniker has a new look and a new name. It is now called 128 after the number of members of the orchestra, and in its first edition it reports on the big Asian tour of the Philharmoniker in November 2011 and the Easter Festival, which will be held in Baden Baden from 2013.

It also has exclusive interviews with the baritone Thomas Quasthoff, the actor Armin Mueller-Stahl and pianist Helmut Deutsch. And of course chief conductor Sir Simon Rattle is not forgotten – he introduces us to some of his favourite places in Berlin.

128 – The Magazine of the Berliner Philharmoniker will be published four times a year. The stylishly designed and lavishly produced magazine is aimed at friends of the orchestra all over the world – and also to everyone who is interested in classical music and contemporary cultural issues. Our PDF preview gives you a first glimpse, free of charge.
