Berlin Philharmonic's home reopening as scheduled 2 weeks after fire
BERLIN - The home of Berlin's Philharmonic orchestra reopened Monday for concerts and tours, less than two weeks after a fire tore through the building's roof, forcing several concerts to be held elsewhere.
Berlin's German Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to be the first to perform in the building's main concert hall after a May 20 fire forced rescue crews to tear away about a quarter of the roof above it to get to the flames. Monday night's concert was to feature works by Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms.
The Berlin Philharmonic itself is slated to return to its home Thursday to perform works by Dmitri Shostakovich and Maurice Ravel.
A full restoration of the roof is expected to be completed by the winter.
Authorities are investigating whether negligence surrounding welding work on the roof might have sparked the blaze. It was still not known when the investigation will conclude, said Michael Grunwald, a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors.

Country group Alabama sues drummer for $200K, saying he was overpaid
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - The drummer for the country group Alabama is being sued by his fellow band members, who say he was overpaid by more than $200,000.
The lawsuit filed May 9 in the Circuit Court of DeKalb County, Alabama, claims that in 2003 Mark Herndon was paid for his share of net merchandise sales during the band's "American Farewell Tour" before a final accounting was done.
The final accounting, the suit claims, found that "there were no net merchandise revenues as defined by the contract."
The lawsuit seeks to recover the money.
The four members of Alabama - Teddy Gentry, Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Herndon - have not performed together live since the 2003 farewell tour.
The lawsuit, which names The Group Alabama Inc. as the plaintiff, also states that Herndon has demanded a payment of $65,047 which represents his share of an advance against anticipated sales of the "The Last Stand" CD, which was recorded live during the farewell tour and is being sold by Cracker Barrel restaurants.
Alabama contends in the lawsuit that this amount and Herndon's share of any future earnings should be withheld until the full amount Herndon was overpaid for merchandise sales is repaid.
The exact amount of the alleged overpayment is listed as $202,670.
Robert G. Wilson, the lawyer who filed the lawsuit, said he could not comment.
Members of the band and Herndon's lawyer were not immediately available for comment.
Alabama was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Their hits include "Tennessee River," "The Closer You Get" and "Song of the South."
