Elbphilharmonie: Aus den Schluchten zu den Sternen

Elbphilharmonie, Great Hall, Hamburg
January 23, 2026 8:00 PM

From the profound sense of wonder in awe of the unfathomable beauty of the rocky landscapes in Utah/North America, all the way up to the overarching panoply of the stars – thus one might imagine the energy field inhabited by Olivier Messiaen as he wrote this masterpiece of compositional architecture and sound in colourful splendour. From the depths of the canyons, through the stars, and into paradise.
