I always attend Mass on Sundays, and when I travel I try to find a beautiful church with good music.
Any recommendations?
Can anyone recommend a beautiful Catholic church in Berlin with good music?

Peg - you don't sit still. It seems as though I'm always seeing threads with your name on them! Good for you!
Sorry I can't help with Berlin but I'm interested in the answers.
When I was in Vienna in 2009, someone (I think it was Cowboy1968) recommended the Augustinerkirche. He said I should go an hour early, which I did, and he was right. By 20 minutes before the Mass the church was jammed.
There was an orchestra, a choir, two sopranos and tenor or two. The music was the Nelson Mass--I think by Handel. It was really marvelous.
It sure beats the music we have at my church at home, which is a piano, and oboe, a clarinet, a guitar or two, and various other instruments, plus a small choir--maybe 8 or 9 people.
I am very excited about my next trip, which will be to eastern Germany. I just made my plane reservations a couple of days ago and have reserved my hotel in Berlin.
Whoopee!
Oops! The Mass was by Haydn.
You may want to check out the cathedral (Hedwigskathedrale):

And their choir's schedule (in German): http://www.hedwigschor-berlin.de/termine/index.php?display=v6&navanchor=1110020
Quokka: Thanks. I'll check it out.

t. Hedwig's Cathedral (German: Sankt-Hedwigs-Kathedrale) is a Catholic church(Cathedral, really), and is very central to Berlín, in Bebelplatz, not very ornated, really simple.
You can attend Mass and then go sightseeing.
We were there last june and enjoyed the Cathedral and of curse the city.
Have a nice trip.
