He brings Hollywood atmosphere to Germany: Steven Gätjen. The film and cinema specialist is known for his commentary on the Oscar ceremonies, which he describes as follows: “The atmosphere on the red carpet is insane. A flash of lights, voices, and Hollywood stars.” It can’t be any different; Gätjen will also host the concert evening "Hollywood in Munich," garnished with impressions and anecdotes from the Hollywood dream factory. Because atmosphere and music go hand in hand, and there are film scenes that everyone can instantly visualize as soon as the corresponding music plays—such is the intensity with which melodies and images have imprinted themselves in the collective memory. Often, it is the composers who grant a film immortality—with melodic ideas and an infallible sense for emotion and drama.
"Hollywood in Munich" celebrates the brilliant motifs and distinctive themes of the greatest cinematic blockbusters of all time: with action sounds from "Indiana Jones" or "James Bond," majestically glorious melodies like those from "Ben Hur," the galactic music of "Star Wars," or the unmistakable sounds from "Schindler's List." The many earworms shine in a true festival of sound colors, presented by the Prague Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. You don’t have to be a cinephile to get excited about these titles…

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.
