Music tours to Berlin

Vibrant and youthful city
Fascinating blend of east and west
Home to iconic 20th century landmarks

“Berlin was much enjoyed and the experience will remain in their minds for years to come.”

Andrew, Musical Director, Hertford

“So much to see and do - we could easily go again with a completely different itinerary. Met my expectations as a vibrant capital city.”

Paul, Musical Director, London

“The location was nice and central so we could walk to places as well. The food was good, it was buffet and everyone was catered...”

Hanh, Musical Director, Hertfordshire

One of Europe’s most buzzing capital cities

Berlin has evolved in recent years from being the symbol of the East/West division to the place where the two now meet and entwine. Berlin is a unique and fascinating city, which, since the fall of the Wall in 1989 has become one of Europe’s most buzzing capital cities. The colourful remains of the wall, sites of National Socialist conferences and the Prussian palaces are evidence of just some of the momentous historical events which have taken place here, while the city also displays the cutting edge in modern architecture.

Concerts

Concerts are possible for both choirs and orchestras in the famous Gethsemanekirche in the trendy district of Prenzlauer Berg in the former East Berlin.

Berlin Cathedral and St.George's Anglican Church welcome choirs and recitals. Many more churches, if less well known, are hugely enthusiastic when receiving groups. The Augustinum Retirement centre has a purpose-built theatre and is very keen to receive our groups. Why not go further afield and cross the border into Poland (2 hour drive) and perform in the castle precinct in Szczecin?
