About the Concert

Whether as a duo, a quartet, or even as an octet - making music in a small ensemble is usually a very special joy for musicians. And a challenge - as each individual voice is present, it is even more important than usual to listen to each other and communicate directly with each other. And of course, it is also an event for the audience to hear the musicians of an orchestra, which is usually experienced as a large whole, in a very intimate setting. Here, you can do this all day or evening long: every full hour, an ensemble of musicians from the Dresden Philharmonic presents itself, often in unusual formations with their favorite works. And because our chief conductor Sir Donald Runnicles also loves chamber music, he sits down at the piano together with his wife Aedlle - who is also a skilled pianist - and offers the opportunity to experience him from a completely different musical perspective. Starts every full hour

In cooperation with the Friends of the Dresden Philharmonic.

Sir Donald Runnicles

Chief Conductor of the Dresdner Philharmonie

Introducing Sir Donald Runnicles! More pictures & videos of our new Chief Conductor can be found here.

Sir Donald Runnicles has been Chief Conductor of the Dresden Philharmonic since the start of the 2025/26 season. In his first Dresden season, he will be presenting Strauss's "Elektra" in concert, conducting concerts at the British Festival, and leading the orchestra on a tour of Asia, to name just a few projects. The Scotsman will also remain General Music Director of the Deutsche Oper Berlin until mid-2026. He stands for the principle of quality over quantity and has thus established close artistic ties with renowned institutions worldwide, both in the opera pit and on the concert podium.
