The violin came to her quite naturally, by her own desire and without any external pressure, María Dueñas said recently in an interview. And you believe her 100 percent, as she is clear and focused—at just 22 years old: María Dueñas is considered one of the most interesting up-and-coming violinists and one of the most successful classical musicians in her home country of Spain. She found her instrument at the age of six in Granada and began studying at the local conservatory just a year later. For a few years, she moved first to Dresden and then to Vienna to continue her studies, from where her career gained momentum with her participation in the prestigious Yehudi Menuhin Competition while still a student. And then it happened very quickly: Since 2022, she has been signed with Deutsche Grammophon and was able to release her first album last year. World concert tours and illustrious musical partners have since become part of Dueñas's daily life, who also composes herself. In Munich, she will be accompanied by the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under the direction of their First Guest Conductor Marie Jacquot, bringing along Max Bruch's virtuosic violin concerto.

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.
