On July 2, the Berliner Philharmoniker announced that the orchestra was originally scheduled to depart for Shanghai after the open-air concert at the Woodlands Theater at the end of June 2022 for a 10-day residency program called "Berlin Philharmonic in Shanghai". Due to the impact of the epidemic, the orchestra had to cancel this trip.
The Berliner Philharmoniker has reached an agreement with Chinese performance management company Wu's Planning to postpone the event until the summer of 2024.
At that time, in addition to the concert conducted by chief conductor Kirill Petrenko, the orchestra will also bring a variety of educational, outreach programs and chamber music concerts and other exciting contents.
The Berlin Philharmonic is not only a strong symphony force in Germany, but also the "master of the king" among the world symphony orchestras. It has visited mainland China five times, and every time it visits, it is a whirlwind and attracts much attention.
In June 2015, with the votes of 123 musicians, Russian conductor Kirill Petrenko was elected as the newest music director of the orchestra. In 2018, Simon Rattle stepped down as the music director, and Kirill Petrenko took over as the newest head of the orchestra.
