Boundless Music
When Germany’s youngest musical elite take up their instruments, they captivate conductors, soloists, audiences, and critics alike: infectious energy and remarkable professionalism combine to create a unique sound that perhaps only the 14- to 24-year-old musicians of the Federal Youth Orchestra and the Federal Jazz Orchestra can achieve.
The Federal Youth Orchestra is Germany’s youngest top-tier orchestra, with conductors such as Herbert von Karajan, Gustavo Dudamel, and Sir Simon Rattle having already led it. The Federal Jazz Orchestra is regarded as a talent factory for future jazz musicians, producing, among others, Till Brönner. In the spring, both ensembles will join forces with a thrilling and refreshing selection of works to deliver a breathtaking concert experience.

Isar Philharmonic
Isarphilharmonie
Munich’s most modern concert hall
Since the Isarphilharmonie opened in October 2021, it has quickly gained a reputation for its special atmosphere and excellent sound. The list of orchestras performing here reads like a veritable Who’s Who, headed by the Munich Philharmonic, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra. High profile concert agencies see the auditorium as the perfect place for guest appearances by national and international orchestras and it also hosts jazz productions and large-scale popular music concerts of all genres.
But the Isarphilharmonie also has another string to its bow: it can be blacked out, making it the ideal venue for film screenings – with or without orchestral accompaniment. The auditorium is equipped with a large screen and top-class cinematic sound systems.
Architecture & acoustics
The building that houses the Isarphilharmonie is a steel structure with an internal volume of nearly 60,000 cubic metres. The concert hall itself can accommodate almost 2000 guests and is made from prefabricated solid wood elements. The walls are clad with black-stained softwood panels, while the stage and floors are made from light cedar wood for a striking contrast. The Isarphilharmonie at Gasteig HP8 was built by the general contractor NÜSSLI to the plans of architects gmp – Gerkan, Marg und Partner.
The Isarphilharmonie acoustics were created by Nagata Acoustics International – the team led by star acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota – who were also involved with the construction of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg and the Philharmonie de Paris.
