The Berlin Festival is attempting the the most comprehensive survey of 20th Century music ever mounted – 83 programs in five weeks featuring 83 composers. “The festival is an awesome undertaking, and it provides a fascinating glimpse into how one of the world’s most musically important cities views recent history. It also shows the ferocious determination in Berlin to keep classical music a powerful and dominant art form. The lineup of concerts is no less than staggering.” – Los Angeles Times
