A musical morning full of brilliance, excitement, and anticipation

With the matinee for the 5th Philharmonic Concert 2026, the Theater Ulm opens a special behind-the-scenes look at the concert season on Sunday, June 28, 2026. In the foyer, conversation, musical insights, and the atmosphere of a great orchestral moment come together – just before the actual symphonic concert, which concludes the season with a captivating contrast of George Gershwin and Richard Wagner.

A morning between intimacy and the grand stage

The matinee brings the audience closer to the creation of a Philharmonic Concert. In the main foyer of the Theater Ulm, it’s not just about music but also about the people who shape it: Moderator Felix Goldbeck and General Music Director Felix Bender provide insights into the work, the artistic fingerprint, and the concept of the evening. This mix of conversation and musical preview creates a concert experience with direct audience engagement.

Gershwin meets Wagner – a charm of colors and contrasts

The regular 5th Philharmonic Concert of the 2025/26 season relies on an extraordinary dramaturgy: Gershwin's Piano Concerto in F major stands alongside Wagner’s concertante orchestral version The Ring Without Words by Lorin Maazel. The program itself promises a great range – from jazzy, pulsating rhythmics and virtuosic piano brilliance to symphonic power, orchestral luminosity, and the famous motifs of the Ring myth. The matinee frames this program with background knowledge and makes audible why this juxtaposition is so impactful.

Live atmosphere at Theater Ulm

The foyer of Theater Ulm is ideally suited as a barrier-free venue for matinees, soirées, and chamber concerts, creating a special closeness between the stage and the audience. Those who take a seat here do not experience a distant lecture but a lively introduction to a concert day. The architecture of the building, the focused acoustics, and the direct exchange with the creative team give the morning a fine, personal tension.

It offers orientation, anticipation, and the rare glimpse into the artistic decisions behind a Philharmonic Concert. Those who want to enjoy music with context will receive a stylish, informative, and atmospherically rich start.
