RundfunkchorLounge 26/27 »Im Takt der Zeit«
Twelve Years with Gijs Leenaars – A Farewell Evening
It’s the final concert of the 2026/27 season, and with it, the Rundfunkchor Berlin’s last concert with Gijs Leenaars as Chief Conductor. For a full twelve years, he has shaped the choir through his musical leadership. This long and fruitful period will be reflected upon in the season’s final RundfunkchorLounge – the very format that Gijs Leenaars himself once brought to life. It’s also the perfect opportunity for him to share his personal highlights from the choral repertoire one last time in the intimate atmosphere of the Heimathafen Neukölln. Farewells are never easy, but that’s usually the way of things…
Closing the Season at Heimathafen Neukölln
After the main musical and thematic programme, you’re warmly invited to round off the season at the Heimathafen bar with relaxed lounge music and ease gently into summer.

Heimathafen Neukölln
Heimathafen Neukölln has been an established venue for cultural events in Berlin since 2009. From theatre performances and concerts to political debates, this venue in the heart of Neukölln offers its audience a diverse programme. Originally founded by a collective of ten women, Heimathafen sees itself as a ‘laboratory’ for a wide variety of formats. This makes it the ideal venue for our RundfunkchorLounges, which not only delight audiences with surprising musical elements, but also provide a space for stimulating conversation.
