A well-structured day from morning until evening makes violinist Julia Fischer happy. "At home, I learned strict time management." How else could the native of Munich have accomplished everything she has tackled and achieved in her life, often much earlier than everyone else: starting violin and piano lessons at three years old, becoming a young student with Ana Chumachenco at the Munich Conservatory at the age of nine, giving over 50 concerts a year by the time she was 17, and becoming Germany's youngest professor at just 22. She also celebrated her CD debut very early: In the recording of Prokofiev's first violin concerto, the brilliance of the violinist was already apparent 15 years ago. She has received multiple awards, and as the Neue Zürcher Zeitung wrote, "with such a strong presence, such elegant virtuosity, and so far removed from any trace of sentimentality, her sound is radiant, and she fills the arcs of tension with liveliness."
Julia Fischer comes to the Isarphilharmonie with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Vasily Petrenko, with Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major on the program.

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.
