Neubrandenburger Philharmonie — Philharmonische Konzerte

Symphony in the Konzertkirche

The Philharmonische Konzerte form the central symphony concert series of the Neubrandenburger Philharmonie. In the 2025/2026 season, ten concerts are scheduled — performed in the Konzertkirche Neubrandenburg, the Gothic St. Mary's Church, which was converted into a performance venue in 2001 according to the design of Finnish architect Pekka Salminen, with a modern concert hall made of glass, concrete, steel, and wood.

Programme for the 2025/2026 Season

The series presents major works of symphonic literature. Highlights of the first half of 2026 include:

• 9 April 2026 — Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 3, with pianist Katharina Treutler as soloist
• 4 June 2026 — Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 and Schumann: Symphony No. 4

The spectrum ranges from classical to romantic and modern periods. General Music Director Daniel Geiss, chief conductor of the orchestra since the beginning of the 2023/24 season, shapes the artistic direction of the series.

An Orchestra with History

The Neubrandenburger Philharmonie was founded in 1950 as a city orchestra and developed into one of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's most important ensembles. Today, it is part of the Theater und Orchester GmbH Neubrandenburg/Neustrelitz (TOG) and performs both in the Konzertkirche and as a touring orchestra in the region.

Neubrandenburg as a City of Music

Neubrandenburg is located in the Mecklenburg Lake District district in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With the Philharmonische Konzerte, the city of four gates has a continuous, high-calibre classical music series.
