Vivaldi’s Four Seasons
In 2025, Antonio Vivaldi’s most famous work, The Four Seasons, celebrates its 300th anniversary. Premiered in 1725, it is undoubtedly one of the most beloved pieces in music history. The characters of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter are musically portrayed with virtuosity, intensity, as well as tenderness and subtlety.
After its premiere in early 2025, this special project will be presented again in January 2026 at the Isarphilharmonie. Immersive concepts have been enjoying considerable success for several years, and Vivaldi’s masterpiece is brought to life through stunning light installations and elaborate video animations. Using state-of-the-art technology, which offers the audience a multimedia illusion of image and sound, a unique atmosphere is created. The music is performed live on stage by the Munich Chamber Orchestra and violinist Clarissa Bevilacqua, while the audience immerses itself in Vivaldi’s sound worlds and experiences the forces and moods of the seasons up close. A one-of-a-kind journey through the year, from snowstorms to sunshine!

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.
