Kent Nagano conducts the Deutsche Symphonie-Orchester Berlin with Bernstein (April 2026)

On April 30 and May 1, Kent Nagano will conduct the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin at the Berlin Philharmonie. The program for both concerts features Leonard Bernstein’s ballet »Dybbuk«. Dybbuk lures us into a sweeping drama full of mysticism, tension and orchestral intensity. Powerful rhythms, mysterious dissonances and exciting melodies inspired by Jewish mythology retell Salomon Anski’s eponymous play: a story of love, obsession and struggle against dark powers.
