hr-Sinfonieorchester live in Wiesbaden

Experience hr-Sinfonieorchester live on June 21st

hr-Sinfonieorchester, based in Frankfurt, is renowned for its broad repertoire encompassing works from the Baroque period through contemporary compositions. The orchestra maintains a strong focus on both standard orchestral literature and the performance of new music, frequently commissioning works from contemporary composers. Historically, it evolved from the Hessischer Rundfunk Symphony Orchestra, established in 1945, and has gained international recognition for its recordings and concert performances.

The concert on June 21, 2026 will take place at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden. Completed in 1904, the Kurhaus is a prominent landmark of Wiesbaden, originally conceived as a combined casino, theatre, and thermal bath complex reflecting the town’s historical status as a spa destination. Its architecture exemplifies the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style prevalent at the time of its construction. The *Großer Musiksaal* (Great Music Hall) within the Kurhaus is particularly noted for its excellent acoustics and ornate interior decoration featuring frescoes and gilded ornamentation. Throughout its history, it has hosted numerous significant cultural events beyond musical performances including balls and congresses; it remains a central venue for cultural life in Wiesbaden and the Rhine-Main region.
