Living with the Covid pandemic has sparked the question of what the future of the music industry will look like. With their digital concert platform, Beat Halberschmidt and Jean-Paul Mendelsohn have found a possible answer.

In music, the term 'high fidelity' refers to a flawless listening experience, and the creators of berta.berlin are passionate about it. Since 2019, the financially independent, donation-based project has been streaming concerts and performances into the living rooms of Berliners. And that's not all: In addition to designing the programming, the founding duo brings their knowledge of licensing issues, distribution channels and technical expertise to the table. The latter ensures that the individual recordings are of exceptionally high quality - high fidelity, in other words. 

Berta.berlin is the brainchild of Beat Halberschmidt, musician, composer and founder of the Ask Helmut event platform, and Jean-Paul Mendelsohn, music manager and festival organizer. The pair refuse to be pinned down to a single genre, sometimes playing jazz, sometimes hip-hop, folk or metal, sometimes even Krautrock and Krautpop. The fun doesn't stop at music alone; indeed, socio-political issues are also relevant in their work, such as giving visibility to female artists or tackling the question of what a post-pandemic world might look like.
