How Do You Distinguish Your Orchestra In A City With Eight Of Them?

Conductor Lothar Zagrosek: “[T]his building we are in is our great asset. That is why the first thing I did when I arrived was to the change the name. Before, we were the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, so we were the BSO in a city which already had a DSO and DOO and heaven knows what. Now we are the ‘Concert House Orchestra’, so we are identified with our home, like the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam or the Tonhälle in Zurich.”
