Claude Debussy
„Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune“

Béla Bartók
Konzert für Orchester, Sz 116

The one-hour short concerts ‘8Zehn30’ on Thursdays from 18:30 at the Konzerthaus Berlin are always short and sweet: let go of everyday life and simply immerse yourself in 60 minutes of music without a break - regardless of whether the end of the working day is already in sight or another evening shift has to be put in. The orchestra musicians of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin accompany their audience through a short(er) concert evening - from the personal introduction to the after-concert drinks at the bar in the Beethoven Hall. The piece of the evening: Bela Bartók's brilliantly orchestrated Concerto for Orchestra from 1943, in whose five movements the composer combines Western musical tradition with Hungarian folk music.
