From 19 August
In 2020, the festival took place not only on-site at the Philharmonie but also online: In a joint initiative of Musikfest Berlin / Berliner Festspiele and the Berliner Philharmoniker’s Digital Concert Hall, we presented recordings of selected concerts. Exclusive conversations with featured artists as part of the series “Music in Conversation” and essays on the 2020 Musikfest Berlin are still available.
