The Kölner Philharmonie

Since 1986 the Kölner Philharmonie has been an integral part of Europe's music scene. One reason for such prominence is the variety of the concert programmes, which comprise the great works of the symphonic and chamber music repertoire, jazz sessions, folk and pop events, and the world and Cologne premiéres of lesser known, new and exotic works.

 

Another reason is the unique atmosphere prevailing in the exquisitely beautiful concert hall which has been designed in the style of an amphitheatre.

Concerts are held almost daily here and up to two or three on Sundays and public holidays.

What turns you on? The Bamberg Symphony Orchestra in a heady dialogue with Schubert? An eye-opener into the genre of the trio? A delight in concert performances of operas, or the good fortune of perfect solos?

No matter what concert is being performed in the Kölner Philharmonie: Visitors flood into the imposing concert hall from both near and far.
