Gala Concert Residence Munich Concert Residence Munich
Munich, Allerheiligen Hofkirche — Main Hall
About the Event
At the 'Concert Residence Munich', you can experience selected works of classical music.
The Concerts are musical journeys through time, accompanied by famous paintings on a large screen in the historically significant Allerheiligen‐Hofkirche.
The Allerheiligen‐Hofkirche, built between 1826 and 1837, was commissioned by Ludwig I., following the example of the palace chapel of Palermo. His architect Klenze — enthusiastic about St. Mark's Cathedral in Venice — also took inspiration for his design here.
Elegance steeped in history, architectural sophistication, and masterful music: The All Saints’ Court Church at the Munich Residenz provides a unique setting for the highly sought‐after performances by the Residenz Soloists.
King Ludwig I had the building constructed according to the plans of the famous architect Leo von Klenze. Inspired by his travels in Italy—above all by the magnificent St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice and the Byzantine religious buildings of Sicily—an extraordinary space was created that combines medieval influences with 19th‐century elegance. Conceived as a private court church, the royal family once attended services directly from the boxes in the galleries. Today, following careful restoration, this sublime history blends with modern, understated architecture.
When the Residenz soloists perform great works of the Classical period, the room’s exceptional acoustics unfold in all their splendor.
Historic architecture, soft lighting, and the soloists’ virtuosic enthusiasm combine to create a harmonious overall experience that moves the audience and lingers long in the memory.

Artists
| Ensemble: | Residenz‐Solisten Drawn from Munich's top orchestras, the Residenz Solisten have been the resident musicians of Munich's exquisite palace for over twenty years. Works ranging from Vivaldi to Gershwin fill the air with music in the Residenzschloss' famous Cuvilliés Theatre, site of the premiere of Idomeneo in 1781, the Allerheiligen Court Chapel and Herkulessaal, among other exquisite venues, or at the Nymphenburg Palace, echoing the musical tradition of a court that welcomed such performers as the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself. Karsten Gebhardt leads his musicians in over 40 concerts between Christmas and New Year, with further regular performances delighting audiences throughout the year. |
