The Concertgebouw’s famous Main Hall is one of the best concert halls in the world, well-known for its exceptional acoustics and special atmosphere. In the Main Hall, you will feel history. Here, Gustav Mahler conducted his own compositions, as did Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky. Sergei Rachmaninoff played his own piano concertos in the Main Hall. This is also where musicians such as Leonard Bernstein, Vladimir Horowitz and Yehudi Menuhin gave legendary performances. Right up to now, the Main Hall offers a stage to the world’s best orchestras and musicians. Buy your tickets now and experience the magic of the Main Hall for yourself!
Antonello Manacorda and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra open our International Chamber Orchestra series with music from the “New World”. Anton Dvorak’s Ninth Symphony, written in New York, clearly expresses the influences of both indigenous and African American melodies – although the work is also unmistakably Bohemian in colour. 2024 marks the 150th birthday of the brilliant Charles Ives, the first American composer to gain truly global recognition. Anna Prohaska sings selected songs by Ives, juxtaposed with songs by Gustav Mahler, his European contemporary.
Ronny Heinrich and his orchestra invite you to an atmospheric concert of Christmas sounds. In addition to classics such as »White Christmas«, »St. Petersburg Sleigh Ride« and melodies from »Drei Haselnüsse für Aschenbrödel«, traditional Christmas carols will of course be performed. Heinrich will be supported by the soprano Sophie-Magdalena Reuter and the American tenor Eric Fennell.

Do you like listening to stories? Curling up in an armchair and casting your thoughts far away? Well, we have for you stories turned into sounds. Some of them take place among us, and we recognise in them familiar faces and situations. They take place in the world around us and can happen to anyone. But there are also fairy tales, which carry us far away, where no one has ever been before, beyond the mountains, beyond the forests, to the land of imagination, which will determine what our fairytale world will be like and who we will meet there. We invite you to join us on a musical journey from history to fable.

Ivan Repušić, chief conductor of the Munich Radio Orchestra, is celebrated for his emotional, gripping style. This season, he directs the Karajan Academy for the first time, presenting a varied programme with the young musicians. An early classical symphony by JS Bach’s son Johann Christian meets the Notturno by the young Arnold Schönberg, a work still very much in the late Romantic tradition. Pierre Boulez mourns the death of Igor Stravinsky in his Mémoriale, while Friedrich Gulda’s Cello Concerto and Darius Milhaud's Le Boeuf sur le toit are full of musical humour.
