Christian Schneider (UNICEF) in conversation with Andreas Wittmann UNICEF concert for Japan with Simon Rattle and Daniel Barenboim
Both the Berliner Philharmoniker and the Staatskapelle Berlin have been regular guests in Japan for many years. Following the devastating earthquake and the nuclear disaster at Fukushima in March 2011, the two orchestras gave a joint UNICEF benefit concert for the victims a few weeks later, with Sir Simon Rattle and Daniel Barenboim conducting a programme of Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique and Brahms’s Fourth Symphony.
