Have you ever thought about what the orchestra of the future might look like? Will it continue to be the case that the front is played and the audience sits quietly in concert chairs and listens? What is being played anyway? And where?

Imagination, creative enthusiasm and the will to create are more in demand today than ever. “What worked before the pandemic will probably no longer work without restrictions after the pandemic,” said NWD director Andreas Kuntze. “That’s why we want to develop new ideas for the future together with our audience and thus accept the challenges of the time.”

What do you need to feel comfortable at a concert venue? What service would you like at the concert venue? What social interactions can you envision – both with the orchestra and with other visitors?

Are there (particularly unusual) places where you would like to experience the Northwest German Philharmonic?

Which pieces of music would you like to hear more often, which composers?

Would you like more contemporary classical music or so-called crossover concerts, which also include light music or other musical genres?

Do you prefer chamber concerts or always the large orchestra? What repertoire extensions can you imagine?

These questions are the starting point for our call to you to share your ideas, ideas and suggestions with us.

Get involved, create and discuss together! Vote on the best, most exciting, most original ideas! There are no limits to your imagination and imagination. Be part of making orchestral traditions fit for the future.
