Three artists, two generations, one composer. When pianist Rudolf Buchbinder, violinist Hilary Hahn, and cellist Gautier Capuçon take the stage as chamber musicians, three of the most important representatives of their respective fields come together to pay tribute to one of the greatest chamber music composers in music history. Franz Schubert's two piano trios, created during the last two years of the composer’s life, possess formal and thematic dimensions that are almost symphonic. Robert Schumann described the two late piano trios as "like an angry celestial phenomenon" that "passed over the music scene of the time."
The contemporary music scene has been shaped for decades by the Viennese grand seigneur among pianists, Rudolf Buchbinder, and both American Hilary Hahn and French Gautier Capuçon have long been well-known figures. All three share not only extraordinary virtuosity and personality but also a profound knowledge of Franz Schubert's works. Together, they will embark on a quest to find the essence of Schubert's moving late works.

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.
