NDR Radiophilharmonie live in Brunswick

Experience NDR Radiophilharmonie live on May 30th

NDR Radiophilharmonie, a German radio orchestra based in Hamburg, is recognized for its versatile repertoire spanning from Baroque to contemporary compositions. The orchestra frequently performs standard orchestral works alongside lesser-known pieces and commissions new works, demonstrating a commitment to both tradition and innovation. Known for its precise playing and nuanced interpretations, NDR Radiophilharmonie regularly appears in concert halls across Germany and internationally, as well as broadcasting extensively via the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR).

The Staatstheater Braunschweig (Brunswick State Theatre) holds a significant place in the cultural landscape of Lower Saxony. Originally founded in 1825 as the Hoftheater, it has undergone several renovations and expansions throughout its history. The current building, constructed between 1955-1958 after extensive damage during World War II, represents a post-war reconstruction blending modern architectural elements with historical references.

The theatre functions as a multi-disciplinary venue hosting opera, ballet, drama and concerts. Its acoustics are considered particularly well-suited for orchestral performances. The Staatstheater Braunschweig maintains its own resident orchestra but also welcomes guest orchestras such as NDR Radiophilharmonie for specific engagements, contributing to a diverse program of artistic events.
