Friends of the Berliner Philharmoniker

Our association was founded in 1949 to provide the Berliner Philharmoniker with a new concert hall in devastated post-war Berlin. Today it facilitates the purchase of high-quality instruments and the financing of special musical events. Another concern is the improvement of the Philharmonie’s technical equipment and the purchase of valuable documents for the archive.

As a member, you not only support these important projects, but also enjoy many benefits. For example, you can get to know musicians from the Berliner Philharmoniker in matinees and round-table discussions, experience the orchestra's rehearsals, and receive preferential treatment when buying tickets.

This is the Freunde der Berliner Philharmoniker e. V.
