Everything that composer Sven Helbig encounters, notices, receives and likes on his musical expeditions is presented to the audience of his weekly program Schöne Töne on radioeins. Here, electronica, ambient, new and ancient music flow together with classical orchestral music in an original and effortless way, taking listeners on an adventurous journey through music from all over the world and all eras.
Together with the DSO, Helbig will once again bring his Schöne Töne live to the stage at the Haus des Rundfunks twice in the 2024/2025 season. He will host the evening himself in an entertaining and amusing way, welcoming keyboard wizard Dorian Concept, trumpeter Simon Höfele and other exciting guests who will join the orchestra, and drawing on his almost endless treasure trove of musical stories.
The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin (DSO) emanates into the world from the Berliner Philharmonie, while remaining societally relevant at all times, close to people and keeping pace with the times.
Concert programmes rich in associations, repertoire discoveries, cross-genre projects and a passionate commitment to contemporary music define its DNA, as does the courage to deploy unusual formats to convey music. It is with good reason that the Süddeutsche Zeitung has called the DSO the »think tank« among the capital city’s orchestras.
With music by Boards of Canada, Louise Farrenc, Dorian Concept, Anna Thorvaldsdóttir, Sven Helbig, Justina Jaruševiciute and more.
