Europakonzert 2026: A musical manifesto for Europe

Upcoming production from the Esterházy Palace in Austria: 1 May 2026, Live signal available, 11:00 am CET.

On 1 May 2026, the Berliner Philharmoniker perform its Europakonzert in the magnificent Haydn Hall of Esterházy Palace in Eisenstadt, Austria.

Since 1991, the Berliner Philharmoniker has celebrated the unity and diversity of the continent with its Europakonzert at historic venues – from the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. In 2026 the concert returns to the cradle of Viennese Classicism: the place where Joseph Haydn worked for almost four decades and Beethoven found inspiration.
