A sound space with history
Babelsberg Castle is one of the most striking places in the Potsdam cultural landscape. The evening combines the unique atmosphere of the ballroom with the sonic precision of an orchestra that has stood for orchestral music, film sound, and live productions for decades. The German Film Orchestra Babelsberg therefore connects to its long tradition, which dates back to 1918. ([filmorchester.de](https://filmorchester.de/en))
Strings, tension, and cinematic colors
The focus of the evening is a string ensemble that encapsulates great emotions in chamber music form. Michael Nyman, Nino Rota, and Samuel Barber represent an elegant dramaturgy between minimalism, film music, and classical expressiveness. Luigi Boccherini's nocturne adds baroque lightness and nighttime elegance to the program.
