The Sound of James Bond
Mo | Tu | We | Th | Fr | Sa | Su |
Everything about James Bond is spectacular: the strong women, the fast cars, the breathtaking stunts, and the wild chases. The music of the now 25 James Bond films is also always spectacular. There’s the unmistakable title melody that has accompanied all 25 Bond films since Dr. No. And just like the license to kill and the vodka martini, every new 007 thriller comes with an unmistakable title song.
Legendary are the classics from Shirley Bassey, Louis Armstrong, Tina Turner, Adele, and many other great artists. With a large orchestra, band, and two vocal soloists, the James Bond sound is given the perfect stage in this film concert.
The moderation is handled by Dietmar Wunder, the German voice of Daniel Craig. Humorous and entertaining, he guides the audience through the world of James Bond films with many anecdotes. Time to put on the tuxedo...

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.
