Berlin Musikfest 2012 - Should be great - Anyone going?

[Stanfordian]

I'm off to the Berlin Musikfest 2012 between the 3rd-11th September. This will be my 4th year attending the festival. What especially draws me to this festival is the emphasis given to high quality works that are rarely heard, either forgotten or unusual works from the past, and also interesting contemporary works. In addition there is always a small sprinkling of the best known works of the repertoire. This years main theme is American music. I love the mix of international orchestras too. I'm looking forward to it greatly. I was wondering if anyone on this R3 forum is going?

What a great programme - I'm envious. I'd be booking my plane tickets were I not going to be USA-bound next week. Next year, though.

What a great programme -

Such a variety - and a concert that includes Schoenberg's String Trio and Burt Bacharach tops the bill for eclecticism! Have a great time, Stanf!
