More than 1,800 Friends form the strong foundation of the Freundeskreis. Members are driven by a desire to experience and support the programmes of the two concert halls long term in a variety of ways
Culture can only thrive when people get involved – artists, supporters and audiences. Treat yourself or give a membership as a gift among your circle of friends. With annual fees starting from €80, you can support amazing musical projects in the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle. It’s worth it for Hamburg – and for you.
»I want to actively experience and sustainably support music in Hamburg. As a member of the Freundeskreis, I can do both in a number of ways.«
M. Beimann, Friend since 2015
