Concert for Peace (formerly Concert for the Nations)

The Berlin University of the Arts is one of the city's most internationally diverse universities. This has been celebrated every autumn since 2001 with the Concert for the Nations of the University’s Symphony Orchestra, in which more than 25 nations play together. The musical director is Steven Sloane, who has been professor of conducting at the university since 2013. As a rule, the patronage is assumed by an embassy based in Berlin.

This year, for the first time, the concert will not take place in the concert hall of the UdK Berlin, but will set a sign against war in the Berlin Philharmonie as a "Concert for Peace." The Symphony Orchestra of the Berlin University of the Arts, together with the Chamber Choir of the Arts Berlin (conductor: Maike Bühle) and the mezzo-soprano Marina Prudenskaya, conducted by Steven Sloane, will perform compositions of tragic topicality.
