The ORBIS Percussion Duo, winners of the 2021 Rometsch chamber music competition, are aptly named. Orbis – the circle – represents infinity. And Florian Köhn and Leon Günther do indeed seem to draw on infinite acoustic possibilities in Sascha Etezazi’s “Piece for two percussionists”, which the duo helped compose.
The cellist Maria Leszczyńska-Thieu won the 2022 Rometsch solo competition and presents the A minor Cello Concerto by Robert Schumann.
And which work could be more suitable for rounding off a concert programme performed by young, up-and-coming artists than Schumann’s “Spring” symphony, whose memorable underlying motif sets to music the line of poetry “O wende, wende deinen Lauf, im Thale blüht der Frühling auf” (“O turn, O turn and change your course — In the valley spring blooms forth!”) (Adolf Böttger)?

This is where you will find detailed directions.
Parking Flat Day Rate
Make use of our flat day rate for parking. It only costs 4 euros. One useful tip: you can pay at the pay stations in the multi-storey car park itself or in the stairwell either when you return to your vehicle or in advance of attending events. That will save you time waiting at the pay stations after the end of events.

It goes without saying that the Historische Stadthalle is equipped to provide access for disabled people.
Wheelchair ramps and lifts (with announcement) will provide you with easy access to all rooms.
Parking spaces for disabled people are available both in the multi-storey car park and in the Südstrasse car park.
Toilets for disabled people can be found on the ground floor (to the right of the main entrance) at the eastern end of the foyer. They are clearly signposted.
