2014 – 2024
Time flies – and before we know it, ten years have passed!
In autumn 2014, Andreas Richter Cultural Consulting GmbH launched a project that marked a first milestone in more ways than one: to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, we organised a multi-day residency by the European Union Youth Orchestra (EUYO) with many concerts along the Berlin LICHTGRENZE, chamber music at the Berlin Wall Memorial and a concert conducted by Lorenza Borrani as part of the annual Europe speech at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. With this project, we not only reached several thousand enthusiastic people from all over the world in Berlin (as well as several million viewers of the ZDF heute journal), but above all we were able to show what our work should be about in the future: To present music in all its diversity, in different formats with first-class artists in a context that has an impact on life – and to do this in an international setting, with artists from Europe and overseas, and in co-operation with creative and clever partners.
The one initial project has now grown into a comprehensive list of activities: we represent some of the best original sound orchestras and ensembles, realise flagship projects with major symphony orchestras, expand the established boundaries of repertoire and concert format with the next generation of independent orchestras, learn more and more about non-European classical music, and work with many partners to ensure that music remains relevant in the future.
People and our relationships with them are always at the centre of our work. This applies to our current team of eight people, the artists we work with, the event organisers with whom we have been able to build valuable and trusting relationships, our cooperation partners who support and help shape our ideas, and of course our business partners and colleagues. A big thank you to all of you for 10 years of great collaboration!
Here is a brief insight into our history:
Let’s celebrate!
Of course, we didn’t miss the opportunity to throw a proper birthday party! On 17 September 2024 at Tangoloft Berlin (in Kühlhaus Berlin), we toasted to the last and next 10 years with around 100 guests; Sarah Willis and The Sarahbanda congratulated us musically – thank you very much for that too!
