At our youngSTAR Festival, Berlin’s school ensembles take over the stages of the Philharmonie Berlin for four days, performing in front of capacity audiences. This year, we welcome over 400 young musicians from ten different school ensembles.  Two vocal hero sing-along concerts will kick off the school festival. 

Berlin schoolchildren in the audience are invited to hear and applaud the ensembles in what is often their first performance at the Philharmonie Berlin. At the Vokalhelden concerts, all the children in the hall will be able to sing along.
