Anneliese Brost Musikforum Ruhr Concerts 2025

Had the pleasure of visiting concert halls in Bochum Mulheim and Essen during Rhur piano festival and AnnelieseBrost is my favorite. 1. Staff are really nice and willing to help; 2. Comfy concert seats with linen and embroidered seat number on the back. Enough space under the seat in front for stretching legs; 3. Amazing architecture no matter outside or inside, no matter day or night, 4. mint are distributed outside, which help senior audience from coughing (which is one of the few things in the world that cannot be concealed) - very very thoughtful!

Wonderfully repurposed church to become the entry for a state of the art culture complex. In awe of the environment.

Beautiful performing space and the Bochum symphony is first rate

It was a first for us, my partner and I! We are concert and music lovers and moved to Bochum at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic but until last Saturday ( 18th June 2022) there were limited possibilities to attend live performances. . Our visit was very satisfying on two levels . The concert itself ( Baroque music) was delightful but so was our first experience in the Annaliese Brost Music Forum. A bright and airy venue . A modern "no frills" concert hall built alongside the converted former Mariankirche , which currently serves as a foyer, cloakroom and bar for visitors , and also a smaller small room for chamber music. Unfortunately numbers in the concert hall were rather low , but it has a very pleasing acoustic, is light airy and comfortable, and staff are friendly and helpful. All in all a very pleasant locale - just a small criticism: 7 euros for a small glass of wine in the bar is a bit steep!

Modern architecture meets old church. An awesome result of months/years of planning. Great place for cultural events and sound. I haven't found the toilets for disabled people, yet. And not sure, if wheelchair accessible.
