An impressive and reverent experience is offered with the performance of Mozart's Requiem, combined with works by Arvo Pärt and interpreted by the Dresdner Kreuzchor and the Dresdner Philharmonie. Under the musical direction of Martin Lehmann, the renowned ensemble moves in a successful interplay of musical historical heritage and modern zeitgeist, touching its audience with crystal-clear voices and unclouded joy in singing. For Mozart's legendary Requiem, the choir is accompanied by selected soloists and the enchanting sound of the Dresdner Philharmonie.
The program is complemented by meditative masterpieces of the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt in his 90th birth year. Works like "Fratres," which unite restless moments as well as moments full of eternity in their spiritually simple beauty, will be played in alternation with Mozart's Requiem. An unusual, impressively conceived evening—and a musical devotion to silence, chaos, and completion.

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.
