Dresden, Dresdner Zwinger — Wallpavillon
About the Event
In the anniversary year, 2027, Ludwig van Beethoven—a musical revolutionary—takes center stage in our program. Listen to the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67—one of the most famous works in the history of music.
Beethoven’s great role models—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Joseph Haydn—as well as his contemporary Franz Schubert, also shape this exquisite program.
Through selected chamber music works by these masters, a musical arc unfolds that brings to life the fascinating evolution from the Viennese Classical period to the Early Romantic era.
Practical Information
The concert hall in the Wallpavillon is located on the upper level of the Dresden Zwinger Palace opposite the Glockenspiel Pavilion. One path leads up from the inner courtyard of the Zwinger via curved steps. The second path leads from Theaterplatz over a small rampart — located to the right of the restaurant & Café Alte Meister / Theaterplatz 1a and opposite the left side of the Semperoper Dresden — to the upper level. There are three sandstone steps to climb. On concert days, signs will guide you to us.
Due to the historical construction, the toilets and the concert hall are not barrier‐free but only accessible via steps.
Dresdner Zwinger
The Dresdner Zwinger is a Baroque palace in Dresden, Germany. Designed by court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, the Zwinger was the perfect venue for an orangery, festival arena and exhibition gallery for the princely court. The location was originally part of the city's fortress, the wall of which is still perfectly preserved. The Zwinger is now a famous complex of museums that includes the Old Masters Gallery, the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments, and the Dresden Porcelain Collection. The Dresdner Zwinger also hosts marvellous classical concerts, featuring international artists and conductors.
