Magdeburgische Philharmonie live in Magdeburg

Experience Magdeburgische Philharmonie live on October 3rd

Magdeburgische Philharmonie, the resident orchestra of Saxony-Anhalt, presents a concert at Theater Magdeburg on October 3, 2026. The orchestra’s repertoire is broad, encompassing works from the Baroque period through to contemporary compositions, with a particular focus on German Romantic and early 20th-century composers. They frequently perform alongside internationally recognized soloists and are known for their commitment to both established masterpieces and lesser-known works.

Theater Magdeburg boasts a rich history dating back to 1905, though theatrical performances in Magdeburg existed prior to this in different venues. The current building replaced an earlier theatre destroyed by fire. Architecturally significant for its Art Nouveau style, it houses three distinct performance spaces: the Opernhaus (opera house), Schauspielhaus (playhouse), and Konzertsaal (concert hall) – the latter being the venue for the Magdeburgische Philharmonie’s performance.

Throughout its existence, Theater Magdeburg has undergone several renovations and restorations, most recently a comprehensive modernization completed in 2023. It serves as a central cultural institution for the city and region, hosting opera, ballet, drama, and orchestral concerts.
