Bamberg Symphony Orchestra in Fürth: Concert brilliance at the City Theatre

Sound colors that carry: The Bamberg Symphony Orchestra at the Fürth City Theatre

An orchestra of world-class, an acoustic gem, and a program between tradition and the present: On February 13, 2026, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra will fill the Fürth City Theatre with works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Jörg Widmann. The concert experience begins with an introduction at 7:00 PM, with the concert starting at 7:30 PM.

Symphonic tension: Mendelssohn meets Widmann

The dramaturgy of this evening relies on contrasts and dialogues: sound poetry, orchestral architecture, fine orchestration. Jörg Widmann conducts, shapes the sound, and shines simultaneously as a soloist. His own music frames Mendelssohn's early work and opens new perspectives on sound colors, articulation, and spatial effect. The audience's mood: attentive, electrified, fully engaged with the music.

Live atmosphere in the Grand Hall

The famous Bamberg sound culture – darkly shimmering, warm, transparent – unfolds in the Fürth acoustics with impressive presence. Carefully balanced synchronization of the groups, breathing conducting, precise stage performance: This is how those magical moments arise when a theme emerges, woodwinds shine timbrally, and strings carry the hall with song. One hears the Hebrides crashing, feels the energy of the fugue, experiences orchestral colors in high resolution.

Orchestra of world renown with history

Since 1946, the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra has been cultural ambassadors of Bavaria. From the tradition of the German Philharmonic Orchestra in Prague, an ensemble has emerged that has set standards with over 7,500 concerts in more than 500 cities. Chief conductor Jakub Hrůša has further shaped the characteristic Bamberg sound in recent years – artistically evidenced by highly praised recordings and awards.
