An Evening Between Fairy Tale Lightness and Symphonic Grandeur
When the Munich Philharmonic performs on September 25, 2026, at the Isarphilharmonie, great orchestral artistry meets a program full of contrasts: Mendelssohn's enchanting overture to A Midsummer Night's Dream, Mozart's Piano Concerto in E-flat major KV 482, and Zemlinsky's colorful symphonic poem The Mermaid. Conducting is Ryan Bancroft, with Emanuel Ax on piano – two distinguished artists known for precision, tension, and musical imagination.

A Program That Paints Pictures from the First Measure
Mendelssohn's Shakespeare inspiration opens the evening with shimmering lines and buoyant orchestration. The music floats, dances, and immediately creates an atmosphere that brings the hall to life. Next, the stage belongs to Emanuel Ax, whose international stature as a pianist is well documented through awards, worldwide performances, and his extensive discography. Mozart's E-flat major concerto allows for fine dialogues between the solo part and the orchestra, for tonal culture and cheerful elegance.

Zemlinsky as an Emotional Finale
With The Mermaid, the concert concludes in another world: late Romantic, resplendent, dramatic. Zemlinsky combines symphonic density with narrative power, and therein lies the charm of this evening. Under the direction of Ryan Bancroft, who is appreciated for his repertoire that spans classical and contemporary, this score gains additional sharpness and transparency. The result promises a concert experience that elegantly combines tone colors, dynamics, and audience atmosphere. ([laphil.com](https://www.laphil.com/people/ryan-bancroft?utm_source=openai))
Isarphilharmonie: Clear Sound, Strong Presence
The Isarphilharmonie at Gasteig HP8 is one of Munich's most important concert venues and accommodates around 1,900 guests. For visitors, access, parking, and accessibility are clearly regulated: 200 parking spaces are available at the flower wholesale market, along with information on barrier-free access and special ticket services. The space is thus ideally suited for a concert that relies on nuanced sound and immediate live atmosphere.
