Alongside the Egyptian Mohamed Abozekry and doyen Rabih Abou-Khalil from the Lebanon, Tunesian musician Anouar Brahem is one of the great virtuosi on the short-necked lute known as the oud, which is omnipresent in modern Arabic music. On his albums, Brahem, who was born in Tunis in 1957, places the erstwhile accompanying instrument at the centre of a music that takes its inspiration from many different sources, among them Arabic classical music, folk traditions and jazz.

For tonight's concert in Manfred Eicher's »Reflektor« festival, Anouar Brahem joins forces again with his old musical companions, pianist François Couturier, Klaus Gesing (bass clarinet) and Björn Meyer (bass). They are accompanied by the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra from Estonia: the audience can look forward to an exquisite evening of weightless rapture and grounded presence.

Location : Elbphilharmonie
Großer Saal

Heart of the Elbphilharmonie: the Grand Hall seats 2,100 guests in the »vineyard« style. The stage for artists and orchestras is situated at the centre of the concert hall and is surrounded by terraced seating.

Finding Your Seat

All visitors enter the building via the main entrance. Admission takes place in the entrance foyer and is by concert ticket only. The »Tube«, an 82-metre-long, curved escalator, leads visitors up to the Plaza following admission.

From the Plaza, access to the concert foyers is via stairs and lifts. The main cloakroom is situated on the 11th floor and the hall entrances are on floors 12, 13, 15 and 16. Please follow signs to the area in which your designated seat is located, as indicated on your ticket.

Umbrellas, bags sized A3 and bigger, and luggage and other bulky items must be stored in the lockers in the corridor on the right next to the large escalator on the ground floor/entrance area.

Unfortunately, the opposite is also true: even presumably quiet noises from the audience are clearly audible in the entire hall. We therefore ask our visitors to take the following recommendations into consideration, because »Everything Can Be Heard Here«.
