The Berliner Philharmoniker’s first concert in the legendary Carnegie Hall was on 1 March 1955 under Herbert von Karajan; since then, the orchestra has given 76 further concerts there. This year, the Berliners return for three evenings with Bruckner’s Fifth Symphony and works by Korngold, Dvořák and Rachmaninoff. Soloist is Vilde Frang. Read about our time in New York.

On Saturday, the orchestra travels by train from the capital of Washington D.C. to the city of New York. The concert on Sunday is at 2 pm – a rather unusual time.
