About the Event
Immerse yourself in the stunning architecture of Berlin's breathtaking Philharmonie Berlin for the ultimate concert set to awake your understanding of classical music.
Film and music have been inseparable since the founding days of the moving picture. Even if a live orchestra rarely plays in the cinema today, film scores have become immortal. With well over 1,000 concerts and television appearances, the Babelsberg Film Orchestra can look back on a long and successful stage history. Performance venues include the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles, concerts in major Indian cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta, New Delhi with music by Academy Award winner A. R. Rahman, and of course their legendary live film concerts at the Waldbühne and Gendarmenmarkt. With the melodies to milestones of film history, such as The Godfather, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, James Bond, Harry Potter or E.T., to name just a few, the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg fills the Philharmonie with symphonic sound at the beginning of the year.

Philharmonie Berlin
The Philharmonie is a concert hall opened in 1963 in West Berlin. It is considered the musical heart of the German capital, as well as the new urban centre after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall. Its distinctive bright yellow exterior and unusual tent-like shape quickly made it a city landmark. The surprising design and architecture were initially viewed negatively by many, but the Philharmonie is now considered a model for concert halls worldwide. The architect, Hans Scharoun, aimed to design a concert hall in which the focal point - the musicians on the concert platform - is equally visible from every seat, an aim that gave rise to the hall's unusual shape. Since its inauguration, the Berliner Philharmonie has hosted numerous concerts, often featuring acclaimed soloists and conductors.
