The musicians of the Ensemble JungeMusik Berlin invite you for lunch! Melodious and tasty treats at lunchtime. From Monday to Friday, our five lunchtime concerts offer a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with a varied program, giving you the opportunity to listen to music with different ears and engage in conversation with the artists.

This year's focus is on the voice. Tenor Berk Altan guides us through the week with miniatures composed especially for the Tafelmusik. You can hear daily tenor solos by Artur Kroschel, Samuel Tramin, Raphaëlle Aoun, Burcu Durukan, Anton Wittkowski, and Johannes K. Hildebrandt. In addition, you can look forward to works by Alexandra Filonenko, Olga Rayeva, Stefan Streich, Georg Katzer, Emre Dündar, Helmut Zapf, Ilgın Ülkü, Sebastian Stier (WP), Uroš Rojko, Sean Schumann, Margarete Huber, Iris ter Schiphorst, Ralf Hoyer, Hermann Keller, Kathrin Denner, Kaspar Querfurth, and Bernd Lauber (WP).

The ensemble's flutist, Erik Drescher, cooks the composers' favorite dishes.
