CONCERTO FIESTRAVAGANZA "THE ROMANTICS" | FIMA 2026 Opening Gala
🎶 Concerto Fiestravaganza Returns to Berlin – Now with Piano & String Concertos! 🎶
Experience two dazzling summer evenings of musical marathons in Berlin with Concerto Fiestravaganza 2026! Now in its 4th edition, the concert series expands beyond the piano, featuring not only young pianists but also exceptional young string soloists.
From beloved classical masterpieces to sweeping Romantic concertos, these evenings will bring together some of the most exciting concerto movements selected from the participants of the Fiestravaganza International Music Academy 2026 – now fully integrating both Piano and String Programs.
✨ Concerto Fiestravaganza champions the vision of young Berlin orchestral musicians supporting even younger soloists. Selected participants from FIMA will have the rare opportunity to perform as soloists with the orchestra, bringing their artistry, individuality, and passion to the concert stage.
🎹🎻 Performing alongside them will be Berlin-based Singaporean pianist Shaun Choo, appearing as soloist in Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2, together with the Camerata Fiestravaganza under the baton of Evan-Alexis Christ.
The Camerata Fiestravaganza unites over 50 musicians from diverse cultural backgrounds, many of whom study at Berlin’s leading music institutions, including the Universität der Künste Berlin, Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler, and the Barenboim–Said Akademie.
