Special Concert Formats
It doesn’t always have to be a classical symphony concert in the evening. We also have quite different things to offer. See and hear for yourself – explore our concert series.
Chamber Music Soirées
We regularly invite internationally sought-after ensembles, who will introduce you to the diversity and colourfulness of the chamber music repertoire – in a wide variety of line-ups. Experience great classical music in a small format.
Chamber Music Soirées are given on Sunday evenings at the Tonhalle Maag.
Tickets for orchestra concerts in November can be purchased from 12.10.
Chamber Music at 5
Experience members of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich in a variety of chamber music formations and discover another side of “your” musicians. There is a great deal of passion here: the musicians programme their concerts themselves and are able to interpret the pieces just as they wish.
There are also three matinees for St. Stephen's Day, Easter and Pentecost.
Tickets for orchestra concerts in December can be purchased from mid-November.
Lunch Concerts: your lunchtime breather
We invite you to take a break from everyday life for three quarters of an hour over lunchtime. Our Lunch Concerts offer you the option between chamber music an orchestral concert at the Tonhalle Maag.
Lunch Concerts are given on Thursdays at 12.15 p.m.
Tickets for orchestra concerts in November can be purchased from 12.10.
Literature & Music
Music serves to accompany stories and as a leitmotif in novels. Conversely, sagas, poems and stories have always inspired composers – there are innumerable links between literature and music. In our Literature & Music series, we and our guests explore these connections with relish. Discover literary and musical pearls and how they relate to each other.
The Literature & Music series is going to take place at Tonhalle Maag or at Miller's on Sundays at 11.15 a.m.
Série jeunes
In our Série jeunes, you will make the acquaintance of marvellous talented young artists who already perform at an impressively high level. We have already welcomed such guests as Lang Lang, Yuja Wang or Igor Levit. Who knows which of them you will see again as soloists with us in a few years’ time? Don’t miss your rendezvous with the stars of tomorrow!
The Série jeunes concerts are given on Monday evenings at the Tonhalle Maag.
Tickets for orchestra concerts in November can be purchased from 12.10.

Rush Hour
The afterwork alternative at Tonhalle Maag: During the rush hour Chief Conductor and Music Director Paavo Järvi presents a masterpiece from our musical heritage. Afterwards our musicians jam in the foyer. Finally call it a day in our bar with a chilled drink!
tonhalleLATE – classic meets electronic
Ein magischer Abend mit Klassik und Clubsound. Zwei Musikwelten begegnen sich und bieten dir ein Konzerterlebnis der besonderen Art. Im klassischen Teil zeigt das Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, was es draufhat: Es spielt ein grosses Werk der Musikgeschichte. Dann erlebst du, was passiert, wenn klassische Musiker auf angesagte Live Acts stossen – immer ein Abenteuer für alle. Anschliessend spielen die Live Acts, und gegen den frühen Morgen legen DJs auf, bis die Party ausläuft.
Noch nie dabei gewesen? Dann wird’s Zeit. tonhalleLATE ist in Zürich längst zum Klassiker geworden.

«Beethoven als wahren Bahnbrecher entdecken», ist das Ziel von Iñigo Giner Miranda, «als jemanden, der nicht nur den Lauf der Musikgeschichte verändert hat, sondern auch die Art, wie er Musik geschaffen, aufgeführt und rezipiert wurde und wird.» Iñigo Giner Miranda bringt seine Theatererfahrungen mit der Klassikwelt zusammen, vereint Licht, räumliche Aufstellung der Protagonisten, Text und Schauspiel mit der Musik. «Die Lichter gehen aus und alles wird möglich: Das Konzert folgt seiner eigenen Dramaturgie, in der Repertoire aus 500 Jahren Musikgeschichte uns immer wieder aufs Neue unerwartete klangliche und visuelle Eindrücke eröffnet.»
