"Her playing is very concentrated, quite assertive in tone shaping, and also possesses a certain virtuosic flair, but never over the top, always controlled," wrote the Süddeutsche Zeitung about a concert by Maria Ioudenitch with the Munich Symphony Orchestra.
In March, the young violinist returns to the Isarphilharmonie, this time accompanied by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, with which she will present Jean Sibelius’ Violin Concerto—the only solo concerto by the Finnish composer. The score, characterized by extreme violinistic demands, requires the highest virtuosity and calls for both pure joy in playing and absolute clarity in tone and phrasing from the performer.
A challenge that the American-Russian artist will master with ease. In 2023, Ioudenitch won the Opus Klassik in the category "Chamber Music Recording of the Year" for her debut album with Warner Classics. She captured the attention of music lovers around the world when she received First Prizes at three international violin competitions in 2021: the Ysaÿe, Tibor Varga, and Joseph Joachim competitions. Despite her youth, "Ioudenitch showed why she is already making waves: secure intonation, fearless technical virtuosity, and immense expressive richness" (Bachtrack).

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.
