The hall as a resonating body

The Small Concert Hall in Duisburg offers the perfect setting for such a recital: 150 seats, a transparent sound picture, bright wooden elements, and acoustics that make even the finest dynamic gradations audible. The space was created in 2003 in the former bank counter hall and is considered an elegant stage for chamber music and solo programs.

Audience experience between intimacy and tension

Those who attend this afternoon will experience not a loud spectacle, but a concert experience with focus, breath, and tension in every measure. Especially during a piano evening, touch, pedaling, and phrasing unfold immediately; the live atmosphere thrives on the closeness between the audience and the musician. The small hall size enhances this concentration and allows every musical turn to have an immediate impact. ([folkwang-agentur.de](https://folkwang-agentur.de/konzertsaal-duisburg/))
