Münchner Philharmoniker

The Munich Philharmonic’s percussion section is part of Germany’s rich musical tradition, and its woody, rounded and sombre sound lends a very distinctive colour to the works by Mahler and Strauss. The ensemble, shaped by the successive conductors who have led the orchestra – including Sergiu Celibidache and, currently, Lahav Shani – is characterised by its precision, clarity and synchronisation, and blends organically into the orchestral sound. This concert offers the chance to discover them, on their own and in the spotlight, performing a different repertoire: it is bound to be spectacular!
