Press Kit: Elbphilharmonie Hamburg

The Elbphilharmonie lies in the Port of Hamburg as a flagship of great music. The Herzog & de Meuron architecture firm designed the spectacular
glass structure to rest on top of a former warehouse of brick. The concert venue, which first opened in 2017, is visible from afar, and houses two concert halls, a public viewing area that is accessible during the day and provides a panorama of the port and the city (the Plaza), a hotel, cafes and restaurants, and a car park.

In the Grand Hall, music becomes an unforgettable communal experience in an intimate atmosphere: the acoustics are modern and clear, and every seat offers a superb view.

Images and videos of our concert halls and events are available free of charge for editorial purposes by the press. Please always credit the photographer. Commercial use of any kind or modification of the images is not permitted. A copy of your editorial coverage or a brief summary of the intended use is requested.
