We are a passionate Berlin community of handpan enthusiasts, players and makers. We organize monthly Handpan meetups, learning events and the Pangonia Handpan Gathering 2023 and Festival 2024 which brings together local and international artists, handpan makers, and guests who are all invited to feel part of the community co-creating an amazing experience.
In 2022 the idea to create a Berlin Handpan Community was hatched. Who could have imagined that this community would create its own gathering barely a year later!
The Pangonia Handpan Gathering 2023 was a shared community project by the newly created Berlin Handpan Community into which all participants poured their heart and soul.
Bringing together Berlin based artists with international musicians, Pangonia featured 14 artists playing 11 concerts, and offered 7 workshops from handpan skills to Qi Gong. Being a community effort, 25 crew members made sure that over 100 guests felt warmly welcome at the gathering.
In 2024, we transformed the gathering into a 4-day festival, where 70 people (crew, volunteers and artists) contributed all their various skills, music, fire arts and love. We welcomed guests from more than 15 countries who could learn new handpan skills in many different workshops and master classes. We are deeply grateful for all the love and effort everyone invested to co-create an unforgettable festival

In 2025 at a new location, we will host a gathering again, that puts the focus on you: the handpan players, so you are able to jam, connect and maybe be on stage yourself for the first time. Be sure that some surprise guests from the scene will be there as well.
