Publikumsorchester / Audience Orchestra

In the Publikumsorchester, dedicated non-professionals of all ages come together to share their love for music. The requirements for participation include an intermediate level of playing, confidence in reading music and some orchestral experience.

The Publikumsorchester performs twice a year in the Elbphilharmonie Grand Hall. Michael Petermann, the Director of the Hamburger Konservatorium, conducts the orchestra.
