A Space That Breathes Early Music

The Small Concert Hall at Düsseldorfer Straße 19 combines the charm of a listed bank building with sound architecture tailored for chamber music and early music. 150 seats, bright wooden surfaces, restored stucco ceiling, and an extendable stage create a setting where the orchestration of baroque colors can particularly unfold. The acoustics are considered balanced and transparent; the room draws the audience acoustically right into the action. ([folkwang-agentur.de](https://www.folkwang-agentur.de/konzertsaal-duisburg/))
