Simon Zhu live in Munich

Experience Simon Zhu live on August 15th

Simon Zhu will perform a concert at Schloss Schleißheim in Munich, Germany on August 15, 2026. Zhu is a Chinese-German conductor and violinist known for his energetic interpretations and a style that blends traditional orchestral repertoire with contemporary influences. He frequently champions lesser-known works alongside established classics, often focusing on emotionally resonant performances and a dynamic stage presence. His approach has been described as both technically proficient and passionately expressive.

Schloss Schleißheim comprises three separate palaces – Altes Schloss (Old Palace), Mittleres Schloss (Middle Palace), and Neues Schloss (New Palace) – built between the 17th and 19th centuries. Originally a Renaissance hunting lodge, it was significantly expanded under Bavarian electors Maximilian I, Ferdinand Maria, and Charles Albert. The complex represents evolving Baroque architectural styles, with the Neues Schloss showcasing Rococo interiors designed by François Cuvilliés the Elder.

The palace grounds include extensive gardens designed in the French formal garden style, reflecting the status and power of the Wittelsbach dynasty who resided there.
