An evening full of sound colors in the Herkulessaal: Joana Mallwitz encounters great orchestral art

On April 16, 2026, the Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Broadcasting under the direction of Joana Mallwitz will illuminate the Herkulessaal of the Residenz in Munich. With Radoslaw Szulc as soloist and a program featuring Hindemith, Prokofiev, and Weill, this concert promises an evening where precision, expression, and emotional power converge.

Tension between modernity and depth

Paul Hindemith's Symphony Mathis der Maler opens a space of tension that vibrates between historical grandeur and inner turmoil. Joana Mallwitz, who has been serving as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin since the 2023/24 season and is considered one of the most distinguished conductors of her generation internationally, stands for a reading that combines analytical clarity with sensual depth. From this, a special live atmosphere can arise that makes great orchestral concerts unforgettable.

Prokofiev's Violin Concerto as the electric focal point

In the first Violin Concerto in D major, op. 19, Radoslaw Szulc takes center stage. The concertmaster of the BRSO takes on the solo part in a work that fascinates with lyrical lines, brilliant virtuosity, and finely balanced orchestration. Between floating elegance and dramatic approach, a concert experience emerges that moves the hall acoustically and emotionally.

Kurt Weill and the dramatic intensification

After the break, Kurt Weill's Symphony No. 2 follows, a work full of contrasts, urban energy, and sharply defined musical contours. Especially in the Herkulessaal, whose traditional acoustics are appreciated for classical works, such scores unfold their full effect. The BRSO, internationally acclaimed for its recordings and stylistic range, brings its full authority in the great symphonic repertoire here.

Place with history, sound, and proximity

The Herkulessaal in the Residenz is one of the most renowned concert venues in Munich. The address Residenzstraße 1 is centrally located, and access is easily possible via Odeonsplatz and Marienplatz. For guests with limited mobility, barrier-free access is available through the Hofgarten and the Apothekenhof, a lift, and wheelchair spaces in the parquet.
