The Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany is an architectural wonder situated on the Grasbrook peninsula of the Elbe river. Its design, by Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, allows it to stand as a beacon of culture and amenity. With multiple levels housing recreation areas, restaurants, hotel, and three performances halls, the building has something for everyone. Each hall offers something special: The Great Concert Hall invites audiences to become part of the performance with its unique ‘vineyard style’ set-up; the Recital Hall provides a space for intimate performances of recitals or jazz music; and the Kaistudio is designed for educational activities. Outfitted with iconic lighting, it creates instant recognition of Hamburg's landmark building.
