In April 2007, construction work on the Elbphilharmonie began in Hamburg’s HafenCity. The spectacular architecture comes from the internationally renowned architects Herzog & de Meuron, the sound of the concert hall lies in the hands of the world-famous acoustician Yasuhisa Toyota. Artistic operations are scheduled to begin in 2010. An experienced general director has been found in Christoph Lieben-Seutter, previously general secretary of the Vienna concert hall, who attaches great importance to establishing the venue’s music education programme at an early stage.
