Celebrity pianist Lang Lang opens our piano series with an evening of high romanticism. Frédéric Chopin’s mazurkas are a fascinating combion of folk-dance vigour with virtuosity and a sensitive awareness of sound, and Schumann’s Kreisleriana cycle bubbles over with imagination and emotion. Schumann’s cycle portrayed the composer in eight pieces, which together give – he wrote – a “picture of my character, my endeavours”. To open the concert, Lang Lang plays Gabriel Fauré’s Pavane, which combines romantic sensitivity with archaic baroque references.

Berliner Philharmonie
The Berliner Philharmonie is a concert hall in Berlin, Germany. Home to the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the building is acclaimed for both its acoustics and its architecture.
The Philharmonie lies on the south edge of the city's Tiergarten and just west of the former Berlin Wall, an area that for decades suffered from isolation and drabness but that today offers ideal centrality, greenness, and accessibility. Its cross street and postal address is Herbert-von-Karajan-Straße, named for the orchestra's longest-serving principal conductor. The neighborhood, often dubbed the Kulturforum, can be reached on foot from the Potsdamer Platz station.
Actually a two-venue facility with connecting lobby, the Philharmonie comprises a Großer Saal of 2,440 seats for orchestral concerts and a chamber-music hall, the Kammermusiksaal, of 1,180 seats. Though conceived together, the smaller venue was added only in the 1980s.
