Sing Along Concert "ON TOUR" Milan

April 20-23, 2023 Milan, Italy

Rundfunkchor Berlin & Friends

Starting with the Sing Along projects of the Rundfunkchor Berlin, the idea of this enriching cooperation between professional and amateur singers became very soon an international highlight.

The outstanding performances of the major works of the choral symphonic literature followed by a growing group of nowadays 1.200 singers are regularly hosted in the major concert halls of Europe.

The highlights of the ON TOUR series so far are the performances at the National Concert Hall in Budapest in 2014, Vienna Konzerthaus in 2016, Philharmonie de Paris in 2018 and Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona 2019.

The next project of the ON TOUR series is Giacomo Puccini’s Messa di Gloria in Milan:
together with Rundfunkchor Berlin and Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana, conducted by Simon Halsey at the spectacular Teatro degli Arcimboldi.

+++ Event cancelled +++

Dear singers,

First of all, we would like to thank you very much for placing your trust in us and for registering - despite several postponements - for our sing-along concert 2023 in Milan. As you can imagine, the last two years have been a great challenge for us as organizers. Again and again we have been confronted with new difficulties, which we have steadily tried to deal with in the best possible way.

We looked forward with much hope and anticipation to the postponed sing-along concert in 2023, but unfortunately it is becoming apparent that we will not be able to hold the event as planned due to new problems: On the one hand, we are faced with greatly increased costs around our venue due to the current energy crisis and related inflation. On the other hand - and this is the much bigger challenge - a few months ago the Milan Furniture Fair "Salone del Mobile" was postponed to the same weekend. As a result, hotel costs for participants have tripled, or rather, it is almost impossible to find accommodation within a radius of around 100 km from Milan.

For this reason, numerous registered participants have already withdrawn their registration.

Taking into account the above-mentioned aspects, we have therefore, after long consideration, come to the decision with a heavy heart that we have to cancel the sing-along concert 2023 in Milan.

We regret this decision very much, but unfortunately we do not see any possibility to successfully hold the sing-along concert 2023 in Milan under the mentioned circumstances.

Nevertheless, we wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year!
