They were both composers who were nothing if not obstinate: week after week, Johann Sebastian Bach lived in a state of productive tension in order to compose his next cantata for Sunday service. But routine never crept in: his huge body of over 200 cantatas is marked by the utmost musical expression combined with a deep religious sense. A hundred years later, Beethoven wrote his Ninth Symphony – a work that turned the concert platform into a place of »moral debate« as Friedrich Schiller saw it, with a clear call for liberty and humanity. Enoch zu Guttenberg has regrettably been forced to cancel his participation in this concert due to illness. Conductor Markus Poschner steps in for him: for the last of this season’s Philharmonic Concerts, he brings Bach and Beethoven under one roof, with the cantata »Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis« serving as the introduction to what must be the best-known work in all music history.

Elbphilharmonie Hamburg
Großer Saal
Heart of the Elbphilharmonie: the Grand Hall seats 2,000 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.

Coughing, Clapping, Chatting – Recommendations for Sensitive Acoustics
A concert at the Elbphilharmonie is a unique experience for both audience and artists. Guests and musicians alike rave about the precise acoustics in the Grand Hall. You can hear every note, even from the highest balcony.
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«.
