Philharmonic Essen Concerts

An excellent location, home of the Essen Philarmoniker (one of the best orchestras in Europe) and hosting a number of guest Orchestras and artists at world class level.

Have been there for an evening, the staff were nice although we were a couple of minutes late. For students there are special offers and even free philharmonic performances if I understood correctly. Culture yourself and listen to some class here

Visited concert halls in Bochum Mulheim and Essen during the Rhur piano festival and the one in Essen is my least favorite, especially considering Essen is the biggest city among them all. Seats are incredibly narrow, definitely not enough (at all) instructions for where the seats are both outside and inside the hall, at least for non-German speaker. The park where the philharmonie is at is cute for anyone who wants a morning walk.

Very beautiful place, friendly staff and great performers. Thanks for a good time.

Listened to Bruckner's symphony No. 8, most moving performance by the orchestra
