“Beautiful presentation. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is inclined to some classical music.”
Spend 70 minutes with the Berlin Orchestra, soprano Duangamorn Fu, organist Vladimir Magalashvili, and a violin soloist at Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church. Expect familiar pieces, powerful organ works, and a compact string ensemble rather than a full symphony orchestra.
“The concert was wonderful and the soloists were outstanding. This was not a full symphony orchestra but an eight member string group. Still the quality and choice of pieces could not have been better. The organ numbers were spectacular, the soprano and violin soloists of the highest caliber. You will not be disappointed in this lovely evening. Children and adults loved it. Thank you for making this possible!”
