The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic live in Grafenegg

Experience The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic live on September 6th

The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic will perform at the Auditorium Grafenegg in Austria on September 6, 2026. This ensemble is renowned for its unique and powerful sound, arising from the combined resonance of twelve solo-caliber cellos. Their repertoire spans a broad range, encompassing original compositions specifically written for the group, arrangements of Baroque and classical works, and contemporary pieces. Performances frequently highlight the cello’s versatility, moving between deeply expressive lyricism and percussive rhythmic drive.

Auditorium Grafenegg is an open-air concert hall situated within the grounds of Grafenegg Castle in Lower Austria. Completed in 2007, it was designed by architect Gustav Peichl. The venue is notable for its innovative acoustic design which aims to blend natural surroundings with architectural precision. The auditorium's shell-like roof structure provides weather protection while simultaneously enhancing sound projection. It has quickly established itself as a prominent European summer concert destination known for its high-quality acoustics and picturesque setting. Prior to the Auditorium's construction, concerts were held in the castle’s park; this tradition continues alongside performances within the modern hall.
