Test concert in Berlin Philharmonie as pilot project

20 March 2021, Berlin: People wait outside the Berlin Philharmonie. A test concert with chief conductor Petrenko is taking place in the concert hall this evening as a pilot project. The audience must be tested for the corona virus before the event. Tickets for the concert were sold out within minutes. Berlin's Senator for Culture Lederer had stressed that for him the project was a blueprint for testing how cultural events could function safely during the corona pandemic.
