Discover the Elbphilharmonie

By building the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg certainly created a world wide highlight! Our concert hall, with its impressive glass wave architecture and interior furnishings, is unparalleled anywhere else in the world. The old quayside warehouse in the harbour can be seen as the anchor for our city’s maritime tradition. Anyone who has already been lucky to attend a concert at the Elbphilharmonie will confirm – this is where music belongs.

Discover the Laeiszhalle

The Laeiszhalle, the largest and most modern concert hall in Germany at the time, was officially opened on 4 June 1908. This makes it an important cultural monument to Hamburg's neo-baroque style and a focal point of the city's musical life. In addition to top international artists, the hall also offers Hamburg musicians a professional setting in an elegant, informal atmosphere. First and foremost the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra, the theatre's resident orchestra.
