Víkingur Ólafsson - Piano Recital
Mo | Tu | We | Th | Fr | Sa | Su |
We have often heard from you how vividly our Artists in Residence and their concerts remain in your memory—and that we should definitely invite them back! We have taken this to heart and are launching a new subscription series in the Great Hall. Among the first to confirm was our Artist in Residence 2019/20, pianist Víkingur Ólafsson, whose sold-out recitals at the Konzerthaus have become legendary, whether with works by Bach or Philip Glass. It will likely be no different with his interpretation of Beethoven's last three piano sonatas—the Icelander has a huge fan base in Berlin!

Konzerthaus Berlin
The Konzerthaus Berlin is a concert hall in Berlin and home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin. Situated on the Gendarmenmarkt square in the central Mitte district of the city, it was originally built as a theater. It initially operated from 1818 to 1821 under the name of the Schauspielhaus Berlin, then as the Theater am Gendarmenmarkt and Komödie. It became a concert hall after the Second World War, and its name changed to its present one in 1994.
The Konzerthausorchester Berlin is the resident orchestra of the Konzerthaus Berlin. The concert hall also hosts Young Euro Classic every summer, an international festival of youth orchestras.
