1. Konzerthaus Berlin

The Festival of Lights once again illuminates the newly renovated Gendarmenmarkt – with the Konzerthaus Berlin shining as its radiant prologue. True to the message “Festival of Lights brings people together beyond all boundaries”, this staging becomes an emotional meeting point for all generations.

At its heart lies the art project “The Hands of Berlin”: children from the Arche Foundation leave colourful handprints as a visible symbol of unity. From many small hands emerges one great “We.” At the same time, the facade transforms into a canvas, bringing together the children’s favorite motifs in a glowing digital collage.

We are delighted that alongside renowned artists, young talents have also contributed – with artworks that remind us of what truly matters: hope, the moment and togetherness.

Together we shine the brightest.
Everyone can support these young artists: the QR code built in the light installation leads directly to donation opportunities in support of the Arche.
