Berlin Symphony of A City brings the spirit of early cinema to life through contemporary live scores. Rooted in the legacy of the 1927 Berlin: Die Sinfonie der Großstadt (Metal City Symphony) by Walter Ruttmann with original score by Edmund Meisel, modern performances invite audiences to experience the city’s pulse in a new aural lens. Prominent performers like Stephan Graf von Bothmer have shaped the tradition of composing and performing live accompaniments for silent films, blending classic technique with improvisation. This page highlights the artist’s background, notable discography, and upcoming tour dates that bring this historic film to the stage in 2025–2026 across Germany.
