It regularly collaborates with both established and emerging soloists.

Stadttheater Gießen, the venue for the August 23, 2026 concert, possesses a history dating back to 1902. Originally constructed as a municipal theatre, it underwent significant renovations in the 1980s which modernized facilities while preserving its historical architectural features. The theatre functions as a multi-disciplinary performance space, hosting opera, drama, ballet, and concerts. Its auditorium is characterized by a horseshoe-shaped layout typical of many German theatres of the period and offers relatively intimate acoustics suitable for orchestral performances. The building itself represents an important example of early 20th-century theatre architecture within the city of Gießen and contributes significantly to the region’s cultural landscape. It continues to serve as a central hub for artistic expression in Gießen.
