No city in Europe has been so radically transformed in recent years as Berlin. From 1991 until 2006, the controversial city building director Hans Stimmann guided the reconstruction of Berlin, bringing high-profile new architecture to the city, but with strict controls. Where will the city move architecturally in the years to come? Barry Bergdoll, Chief Curator of Architecture and Design at MoMA, hosts a panel of leading architects in a discussion of Berlin’s remarkable boom and its future.

Eighty high school students take part in Songs: Ritual Rhythms, developing original music based on conceptual themes and musical elements of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring (Le sacre du printemps). The workshops will be led by educators and musicians from the Berliner Philharmoniker. Songs: Ritual Rhythms strives to encourage participants’ creativity.
An explosion of sights and sounds hits the stage when 120 elementary, middle, and high school students from upper Manhattan dance to the Berliner Philharmoniker’s live performance of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring. The presentation will be preceded by eight weeks of rehearsals with a team of choreographers.
