NDR Radiophilharmonie live in Hanover

Experience NDR Radiophilharmonie live on September 26th

NDR Radiophilharmonie is recognized for its broad repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary works, with a particular strength in German Romantic composers and 20th/21st-century music. The orchestra is known for its versatility, performing frequently in concert halls as well as providing live radio broadcasts – a key aspect of its founding and continued identity as part of Norddeutscher Rundfunk (North German Broadcasting).

The concert on September 26, 2026, will take place at the Großer Sendesaal (Great Broadcasting Hall) in Hanover. Opened in 1962, the hall was originally constructed specifically for broadcasting purposes, designed to provide optimal acoustic conditions for radio recordings. Over time, it has evolved into a prominent concert venue hosting a wide range of musical performances, including orchestral concerts, chamber music, and choral works.

The Großer Sendesaal is noted for its distinctive architectural style and renowned acoustics, achieved through careful engineering focused on sound reflection and reverberation. It underwent significant renovation and modernization in the early 2000s to enhance both its technical capabilities and audience comfort while preserving its original acoustic qualities. The hall remains an important cultural landmark within Hanover and Lower Saxony.
