Known for his phenomenal technique, his sensitive and convincing interpretations, and his captivating tone, violinist Augustin Hadelich performs all over the world. The American-German citizen, who was born in Tuscany to German organic farmers, studied with Joel Smirnoff at the renowned Juilliard School in New York. He achieved his career breakthrough in 2006 by winning the International Violin Competition in Indianapolis. Further highlights followed with the prestigious "Avery Fisher Career Grant" in 2009, a "Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship" in 2011, an honorary doctorate from the University of Exeter in 2017, and being named "Instrumentalist of the Year" by "Musical America" in 2018.
Playing on his violin by Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù from 1744, a loan from the Tarisio Trust, Hadelich will perform Mozart's fifth violin concerto in Munich. "On his precious Guarneri, Augustin Hadelich enchants with breathtaking virtuosity and noble tones," promises BR-Klassik. By his side: the Mozarteum Orchestra Salzburg, the oldest orchestra in Austria, which not only delights audiences worldwide with its interpretations of Mozart but also presents works by Wagner and Schumann this "Sunday at 4."

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.
