Orchestral Society Bayreuth at the Friedrichsforum: Autumn Concert Brings Romance to Bayreuth

Romance in the Grand Hall: The Orchestral Society Bayreuth invites you to the Autumn Concert

When the Orchestral Society Bayreuth fills the Grand Hall of the Friedrichsforum with symphonic music on Sunday, October 18, 2026, musical passion meets the special acoustics of a modern concert hall. The current program features Robert Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor op. 54 and Antonín Dvořák's 9th Symphony From the New World – two works that showcase the romantic orchestral sound in all its tension.

An Evening of Departure and Melancholy

The Orchestral Society Bayreuth is a symphony orchestra currently comprising around 30 musicians, which has established itself as a staple of Bayreuth's musical life for years. Under the direction of Youngkwang Jeon, who has been leading the ensemble since the beginning of 2023, a concert evening is being created that emphasizes clear lines, focused interplay, and romantic sound colors.

The Hall That Carries Every Note

The Friedrichsforum offers with its Grand Hall variable acoustics, a large stage, and space for up to 792 guests in row seating. This creates a space where the orchestral sound remains transparent while simultaneously unleashing great symphonic power. The venue is barrier-free accessible and located in the heart of Bayreuth's city center. ([friedrichsforum.de](https://www.friedrichsforum.de/spielstaetten))

Romance on a Big Screen

Schumann's Piano Concerto is considered one of the most striking works of the Romantic period: lyrical, impulsive, dialogical. Dvořák's Ninth connects wide melodic arcs with powerful orchestration and that longing which makes the work a favorite among audiences to this day. Exactly in this mixture lies the strength of a live evening like this: The audience's mood grows with each phrase, until the hall is carried equally by sound and emotion at the end.

Collaboration with soloists from the professional environment also showcases the artistic ambition of the society. An unforgettable concert experience combining tradition, precision, and emotional radiance is expected for the evening in Bayreuth.
