This weekend, São Paulo welcomes one of the most prestigious names in the world of classical music. The Berliner Philharmoniker takes the stage at Sala São Paulo on October 18 and 19, conducted by its principal conductor, Kirill Petrenko.
Presented by TUCCA, the concerts are part of the “Music for a Cure” project and mark the launch of a campaign to create an endowment fund dedicated to the purchase of high-cost medications, which are essential for expanding the possibilities of a cure.
One of the world’s most respected orchestras
Founded in 1882, the Berliner Philharmoniker has built a legacy marked by interpretive excellence and its influence on the history of classical music.
Based in Berlin, the orchestra has become an international benchmark under the leadership of conductors such as Wilhelm Furtwängler, Herbert von Karajan, and Claudio Abbado. Since 2019, Kirill Petrenko has served as principal conductor, leading the ensemble into a new phase of its artistic history.
