studiosi cantandi Berlin is one of the largest amateur choirs in Berlin . Since 2014 the orchestra Junge Philharmonie Kreuzberg has been playing alongside the choir on a regular basis. The choir sings in Berlin churches and concert halls and also performs at concerts in Germany and abroad.
The choir
Since it was founded in 1991, studiosi cantandi Berlin has become a fixture in the Berlin choir scene. Today the choir with its approx. 140 members is one of the largest symphonic amateur choirs in the city and has two to three major concerts a year. The repertoire covers a broad musical spectrum between sacred and secular music.
The orchestra
The Junge Philharmonie Kreuzberg emerged from a project orchestra that has played the orchestral part in oratorios , masses and other large choral works alongside the choir studiosi cantandi Berlin for many years . Over the years, the desire to expand the repertoire and play independent orchestral literature grew among the orchestra members. The Junge Philharmonie Kreuzberg was born from this idea in February 2014. She dedicated her first pure orchestral program, which was performed in the Emmauskirche in Kreuzberg, to the English composer Edward Elgar on the 80th anniversary of his death. Since then she has performed around four to six different programs a year - with and without a choir - in various concert halls in Berlin.
On the one hand, the orchestra continues to see itself as a “project orchestra” that does not rehearse regularly on a weekly basis, but instead comes together for rehearsal phases in the run-up to the concerts. On the other hand, it is important to have a solid core or pool of good musicians who would like to work on musical works together and create a homogeneous orchestral sound.
