NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester / Alan Gilbert

• Classical Music

Classical concerts are only for nerds? The NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra proves the opposite. At the birthday special, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra plays the greatest hits in music history. Many people will be familiar with the melodies from television or the cinema: the theme music from the »Hamburg Journal«, the »Ride of the Valkyries« or the »Wedding March« – music that has been guaranteed to work for centuries. For its 80th birthday, the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra invites everyone who has never been to an orchestral concert – and for an unbeatable €12!
