The »String Instruments« workshop is an opportunity to look over the shoulder of a violin-maker and have a go at playing a violin or even a double bass yourself. During the visit to a Hamburg violin-maker’s workshop, participants discover first-hand how much craftsmanship goes into creating such an instrument. And to close, the Sonoro Quartet from Belgium demonstrates what’s possible with string instruments.
The workshop is connected to the Schumann Quartet concert on 19 May 2026.
Elbphilharmonie PLUS is a programme that opens up different ways of looking at the music performed at the Elbphilharmonie – either to supplement a concert, or as an experience in its own right. Interdisciplinary encounters and exhibitions form part of the Elbphilharmonie+ programme, as do concert talks and films shown in museums, libraries, cinemas and community centres.
