An evening filled with great lines, bright sound colors, and classical tension

With A Century of Sound, Munich will host a concert on May 7, 2026, which unites three giants of classical music in a festive setting: the Armenian National Philharmonic Orchestra, violinist Augustin Dumay, and conductor Eduard Topchjan. In the Herkulessaal of the Residenz, symphonic tradition meets international radiance.

A hall with history, a sound with character

The Herkulessaal of the Residenz is one of the defining concert venues in Munich. The hall was rebuilt in the early 1950s and is known for its excellent acoustics. This creates optimal conditions for an evening where orchestration, dynamics, and fine solo lines have a particularly immediate effect.

Repertoire with depth and dramatic profile

The program relies on contrasts and tension arcs: Aram Khachaturian's Suite from Spartacus, Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 in G major, and Shostakovich's Symphony No. 10 in E minor. Between dance-like energy, classical elegance, and dark power, a concert experience unfolds that brings out the full range of great symphonic works.

Soloist and conductor in dialogue

With Augustin Dumay, an experienced violinist takes center stage, lending brilliance, control, and expression to the Mozart concerto. Eduard Topchjan leads the orchestra through a program that demands precise conducting and fine synchronization. In a hall like the Herkulessaal, this musical precision can become an intense live moment.

Access and conditions

The Residenz Munich is centrally located in the city and is easily accessible by public transport. Nearby stops include Marienplatz, Odeonsplatz, and Nationaltheater. There are no designated visitor parking spaces; paid parking is available in the underground parking garage of the Nationaltheater at Max-Joseph-Platz. The evening will take place indoors.

Conclusion: Those who want to experience great classical music in a representative venue will find an evening with substance, atmosphere, and international flair here.
