NoonSong

The Jewish-German biography of the architect of the church on Hohenzollernplatz, Ossip Klarwein, will be honoured in detail for the first time this year. In his honour, a stele will be unveiled on the square in front of the church before the start of this NoonSong. The NoonSong will feature the works of Bloch and Distler, two choral works by a Jewish and a Protestant composer that were composed in the year the church was built.

NoonSong - what's that?  

Every Saturday at noon, locals, visitors to Berlin, music lovers and admirers of architecture alike attend NoonSong. It is a concert and a church service in equal measure.  Eight professional singers from the vocal ensemble sirventes berlin, led by Stefan Schuck, sing choir music. The repertoire ranges from music from the Renaissance to contemporary compositions.
