Magdeburgische Philharmonie live in Magdeburg

Experience Magdeburgische Philharmonie live on October 11th

Magdeburgische Philharmonie, the resident orchestra of the city of Magdeburg, will perform a concert at Theater Magdeburg on October 11, 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 actively involved in music education programs within the region.

Theater Magdeburg boasts a rich history dating back to its initial opening in 1915, though the current building complex is largely a reconstruction completed in 1966 following significant damage during World War II. Originally conceived as a *Gesamtkunstwerk* – a total work of art – it houses opera, ballet, drama, and concert performance spaces under one roof. The theater’s architecture reflects post-war modernist principles while retaining elements of its original design intent. It serves as a crucial cultural hub for the state of Saxony-Anhalt. The main hall used for orchestral concerts is known for its acoustics and capacity for over 800 attendees. The Magdeburgische Philharmonie regularly utilizes this venue for its subscription series and special events.
