Gamelan music originated many centuries ago on the islands of Bali and Java. It is played jointly on gongs, metallophones and drums. Its unique soundscape already captivated composers such as Claude Debussy and also still has a lot of fans in Europe today. The Elbphilharmonie has a particularly beautiful ensemble of instruments. In this workshop, you can try out these instruments with guidance – and experience how spellbinding it sounds when everyone plays together.

Please note: This workshop is aimed at families with children aged 10+.
Children younger than ten years may not participate in this workshop.

Promoter: HamburgMusik

Supported by Stiftung Elbphilharmonie with funding from the Körber Foundation’s »ZukunftsMusik«

Location : Elbphilharmonie
Kaistudio 6

Located within the base section of the Elbphilharmonie building on floors 2 and 3 are the Kaistudios, home to the Elbphilharmonie’s World of Instruments and extensive music education programme. The largest Kaistudio is the Elbphilharmonie’s third concert hall – ideal for concerts, experimental music, seminars and workshops for up to 150 guests.

Getting to the Kaistudios

All visitors enter the building via the main entrance. The Kaistudio on floors 2 and 3 are not accessible via the Tube (long escalator), but rather using the group B lifts. Please follow the signs provided in the tunnel on right-hand side of the Tube. Admission is by concert ticket only.
Cloakroom

A cloakroom for the Kaistudio located on the second floor is offered free of charge to visitors.

Baby carriages, wheeled walkers, walking-stick umbrellas, handbags larger than DIN A3 (42 cm x 30 cm) as well as sport bags, backpacks and suitcases must be checked in at the cloakroom. If required, wheeled walkers can be parked in the immediate vicinity of the hall entrances. Our front of house staff is happy to assist you in this regard.

Please note that you will be required to deposit your checked in items yourself and house staff is only able to partially guard the cloakroom. Checked in items are left at the owner's own risk.

Coughing, clapping, chatting – Tips for your concert visit

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: Tips for your concert visit
