Music for Cologne
Since 1986, it has been impossible to imagine the music scene in Cologne without the Kölner Philharmonie. One reason for this is the diversity of its programme, including great symphonic works, jazz sessions, folk and pop events and concerts dedicated to world premières and debuts, lesser known and new works. Kölner Philharmonie has two in-house orchestras, the Gürzenich Orchestra Cologne and the WDR Symphony Orchestra. It can seat over 2,000 guests.
