The university's own orchestras, including the Symphony Orchestra and the Echo Ensemble, perform at the highest artistic level. Approximately 300 public events each year provide insight into the artistic development of the students. As an important link in the network of renowned cultural institutions in the German capital, the university works closely with the major Berlin orchestras, the three opera houses and with other institutions of all sizes and branches.
