Berner Symphonieorchester live in Bern

Experience Berner Symphonieorchester live on June 26th

The Berner Symphonieorchester will perform at the Casino Bern on June 26, 2026. The orchestra is the resident symphony orchestra of the city and canton of Bern, Switzerland, and maintains a repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary works, with a particular focus on Austrian and German Romantic composers alongside 20th and 21st-century compositions. They are known for their commitment to both standard orchestral literature and showcasing Swiss composers.

Casino Bern itself holds a significant place in the city’s cultural history. Originally constructed in 1864 as a thermal bath complex designed by architect Ferdinand Stadler, it was transformed into a casino in 1909. The building exemplifies historicist architecture, incorporating elements of Neo-Baroque and Neo-Renaissance styles. Beyond its function as a gaming establishment, the Casino Bern regularly hosts cultural events, including concerts, conferences, and exhibitions within its ornate halls. Its Kursaal hall, where the orchestra will perform, is particularly noted for its acoustics and elaborate interior decoration featuring frescoes and gilded ornamentation. The venue has undergone several renovations over the years while retaining its historical character.
