Germany’s Most Sexy Concert Hall to Celebrate Tenth Anniversary with Beethoven
To some, it looks like an oversized cookie someone took three bites of. But most would agree that the Elbphilharmonie is as elegant as the Sydney Opera House. Its beauty is unbeatable. So is its sound.
In January 2017, Hamburg's Elbe Philharmonic Hall, a landmark that had been under construction for years, celebrated its tenth anniversary with a grand concert. The hall, designed by architect Jacques Herzog and engineer Pierre de Meuron, was inaugurated on January 11th, 2017, after years of debate about its staggering cost and ambitious design.
Despite initial skepticism, the Elbe Philharmonic Hall has become a beloved landmark, attracting musical enthusiasts and prominent figures alike. On its tenth anniversary, the Elbphilharmonie Orchestra, led by chief conductor Alan Gilbert, will perform Beethoven and John Adams compositions, joined by Chief Organist Iveta Apkalna in a celebration of the hall's first decade.
