Taking place for the tenth time this year, the Musikfest Berlin is featuring orchestra concerts by 24 composers over the course of three weeks at various venues in the German capital, including the Philharmonie and the Konzerthaus am Gendarmenmarkt. In accordance with romantic composer Robert Schumann's (1810-1856) wish to herald "a new poetic age", the festival is incorporating works by colleagues whose work Schumann admired , including Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms, as well as oeuvres by later composers of who followed in Schumann's footsteps, such as Anton Webern, Anton Bruckner, Alfred Schnittke, Helmut Lachenmann, Enno Poppes and György Ligeti.

Israeli-Argentinian pianist Daniel Barenboim will launch the festival with a performance of Piano Concertos No.1 and 2 by Johannes Brahms, accompanied by conductor Gustavo Dudamel (Venezuela) and the Staatskapelle Berlin.

Another highlight is Greek violinist Leonidas Kavakos' rendition of Brahms' Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn, with Latvian maestro Mariss Jansons conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra Amsterdam.
