Following measures taken by the Federal and regional authorities in Germany to contain the corona pandemic, the Philharmonie Berlin will be closed from 2 to 30 November 2020. In view of this, the Berliner Philharmoniker and their chief conductor Kirill Petrenko added another work, 4‘33‘‘ by John Cage, to their concert from 31 October.

I don't usually listn to John Cage, but when I do, I don't.

And this is the reason why everyone can play at least one musical piece.

[gavinthecrafter]

Remember, if your Spotify wrapped says you listened to less than 262, 800 minutes of any artist, your top artist is actually John Cage

[flashmou]

This is honestly the hardest piece for a middle school orchestra

[fakirnagir]

This piece is stuck in my head, I even hear it when I'm sleeping.

[YuvalS.]

Love how serious the conductor is, putting his hand up for all the time

[pponcho]

They nailed it. I bet they practiced a lot

[garrysmodsketches]

it's shocking that so many people cannot comprehend how this video is extremely funny

[Person-czyb]

This is the most beautiful thing i haven't heard.

Orchestra Member: "If you ask me the last rehearsal sounded much better"

[costafinkel]

Next up is going to the theaters and watching a blank screen for 3 hours! Genius! Genius! Genius! Bravo!!!

[danielh]

The only piece the neighbors want you to play

[ddrycee]

Listening to 4'33" whilst reading the comments is the best experience I've ever had

[tristananleu]

When you really realise that 433 is ALWAYS playing. Your life will change.

I think the funniest part of this performance is that in the one piece that is complete silence, there was NO COUGHING OF ANY SORT. Basically proving that when audiences incessantly cough during quiet moments in pieces, it’s to intentionally be disruptive

[raindancer]

Everyone managing to keep a perfectly straight face for the full 4 and half minutes, is what really makes me admire these performers. I couldn't do it.

[EarlOSandwich]

He cries out in pain as he plays this (his side profile is really revealing).

[JohnJApanovitch]

John Cage is a genius. I can't believe that no other composer has ever thought of something like it.

[pauzzz]

I want this to be played on my wedding someday
