1. Pictures at an Exhibition

Modest Mussorgsky's classic "Pictures at an Exhibition" (arranged by Christian Reuter) tells many little stories with its music: about newly hatched chicks, about an old castle, about children playing in the park and much more. Theater educator Philipp Roosz has the right pictures to go with these stories.

2. Triad in the Congress Hall

In the concert series "Dreiklang", the Nuremberg State Philharmonic Orchestra leaves its usual concert halls and explores new venues in Nuremberg. This time, General Music Director Roland Böer invites you to the Congress Hall, the future destination of the State Theater. The program is dedicated to composers whose music was labeled "degenerate" and who subsequently had to emigrate externally or internally.

3. Friends for Life

The Young State Philharmonic was founded on the initiative of Joana Mallwitz and will continue to be led by GMD Roland Böer in the 2024/25 season. Young people in the metropolitan region who are interested in classical music can become members of the Young State Philharmonic. In several project phases over the course of a season, they gain deep insights into the world of the orchestra and theater. The young musicians are accompanied throughout the year by numerous orchestra sponsors and the music teacher Irina Roosz.
