In January 2017 the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg opened its doors to Hamburg, the north and to the whole world. The spectacular building combines three concert halls, a large music entertainment area and the public plaza, which offers a spectacular panorama view over the entire city. Built on the former Kaispeicher A, the glass construction projects 110 meters into the sky. With its location on the western tip of the modern Hafencity and close to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Speicherstadt, the Elbe Philharmonic is a symbol of the city's history, present and future. The main hall, with its white facade, is the heart of the building. 2100 seats are arranged in tiers round the central stage. No listener is more than 30 meters away from the conductor. The extraordinary proximity to the event makes this new performance space a place for unforgettable musical encounters. The SHMF is looking forward to being part of this special concert hall in the Elbphilharmonie!
