One Earth Tour 2026
Kodo
Every year, the Japanese drum virtuosos of the group Kodo leave their secluded island of Sado to make concert halls across Asia, the USA, and Europe vibrate with their legendary tours. Deeply rooted in the ancient taiko drumming tradition, their captivating language is understood everywhere. Because Kodo is rhythm, power, and energy.
This legendary Japanese drumming ensemble is breathtakingly fast and skillful, dazzlingly virtuosic and precise, astonishingly melodic – and immensely athletic. The members of the troupe master an art as ancient and fascinating as traditional Japanese swordsmanship or archery. With muscular arms, the demon drummers set their huge wooden drums swinging, booming, and roaring, creating a sound that forges its way forward irresistibly. A thoroughly sensual and physical experience that carries over to the audience, inviting them to marvel and dream.
In February, the ensemble returns to Munich – with the current program Luminance.
Program and cast
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.
