And reserve your tickets now because the BP usually sells out quickly, and you will indeed be sad if you miss a chance to see them play at home. We managed to get two tickets at the door for Abbado's appearance last night, and it was just incredible! The acoustics are magnificent...you can hear each instrument wherever you are seated... More

I enjoyed a wonderful concert in this fabulous venue. The exterior of the building is pretty unassuming but once you're inside it is a beautiful concert hall. I had cheap tickets off to the side up in the gods, but I had a perfect view of the stage and performers. It seemed that I had to climb flights and flights... More

What a treat! We attended a concert our last night in Berlin and it was an absolute treat. We were in the chamber hall. It is quite a charming and cozy venue with wonderful sound. Great experience, a must do.

Just loved how they performed and expressed the Bela Bartok and the conductor had his debut with B. Phil, he was incredible energetic and seemed to be very inspiring to the musicians! It was an amazing experience <3

If you can get tickets, this is a STUNNING evening. We listened breathlessly to the virtuso performances of concertos by Brahms and Béla Bartók during our visit in May. The conductor, Jaap van Zweden, was sheer brilliance and the crowd applauded long after the musicians had left the amazing auditorium. Get here early to have a drink and observe "Berliners"... More

The concert hall and the concert itself were great. It was a pleasure to hear this famous orchestra in live in its home stage. The only minus points are for the cafe; we were expecting more choice and convenient seats, but maybe this is not the German style

I reserved a pair of tickets for my girlfriend and I, five days ahead of the performance. Fortunately I was able to get a pair as it was almost sold out. When we arrived there were people waiting at the door asking to buy our tickets, and after waiting 10 mins in line to pick up our reservations, the clerk... More

Nothing to dislike. Wide range of concerts and venues from lunch time onwards. Situated close to the Sony Centre wide range of restaurants and bars within 5 mins walk - can be a great night out without breaking the bank.
