Every year 1300 people from all over the world stream into the Philharmonie in order to prepare a demanding symphonic choral masterpiece with the Rundfunkchor Berlin and Simon Halsey in two rehearsals and then perform it before an enthusiastic audience. The large Sing-Along Concerts in the Philharmonie are intoxicating celebrations of ensemble singing, in which one can let oneself be carried away on the waves of a massive choral sound. Their success has encouraged the Radio Chorus to adapt this concert format for other target groups and contexts.
The Liederbörsen (Song Bourses) awaken the joy of singing in children and young people and help them to overcome contact anxieties.
The LeaderChor Berlin is a 40-voice small choir of managers who come together for three-day workshops, not only for the joy of singing, but also to be introduced to different teamwork methods and leadership skills.
