Transcendent Connection
Daniil Trifonov
Johannes Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 2 lasts just over 50 minutes. Daniil Trifonov has recently added this monumental work to his repertoire. The pianist is passionate about the piece, partly because it offers an incredible range of facets: alongside its grandly concertante passages, it contains many chamber music and symphonic elements. Trifonov’s profound and highly sensitive engagement with the music creates an almost transcendent connection to the work, allowing him to reach the audience in a unique way. Since his major breakthrough in 2011, he has become one of the most dazzling pianists on international concert stages.
During his appearance in Munich, he will be accompanied by the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia Rome. The new principal conductor, Daniel Harding, is the second Briton in a row at the orchestra’s podium after Sir Antonio Pappano — but certainly the only top conductor who also works as a professional airline pilot for a major French airline.

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.
