One of four forum concerts by the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin under the motto “KlangSkulpturen” (Sound Sculptures) will take place at Kunsthaus Dahlem. In this special concert series, the choir provides the fitting sound for places where sculptures, statues and other works of art are presented – including the Rotunda of the Altes Museum, Zitadelle Spandau and Friedrichswerdersche Kirche.

The RIAS Kammerchor on the concert series

“For more than 20 years, the RIAS Kammerchor Berlin’s ForumKonzerte have always been a surprise package: venues we have never performed at before, programs you have never experienced with the singers of the RIAS Kammerchor before. And wherever we have taken you so far, you have followed us. We are delighted about this and it encourages us to keep finding venues that you have not seen before. We have been exploring these places since 2004 with the board of the Förderverein, the Forum of Friends and Sponsors, which initiated the concert series and therefore also gave it its name.

Now the series is entering its 22nd season under the motto KlangSkulpturen (Sound Sculptures) and will continue to be an experimental platform where we test a wide variety of formats and venues for their suitability for concerts. And in the 2025–26 season, we will once again be able to present four new and exciting venues for you to discover and where you can experience our singers.”
