Martha Argerich once said she did not want to have to explain why she was doing something when playing with someone else. She prefers simply to play and thus seeks out partners with whom she has an immediate understanding. Take, for instance, the cellist Mischa Maisky from Riga, a long-standing friend of hers. They repeatedly perform together as a duo but also with other chamber music partners such as the artist Gidon Kremer, with whom they appeared at the last Ruhr Piano Festival in January 2022. The grande dame of the piano enjoys gathering around her the musicians who have accompanied her throughout her life. For almost forty years, Mischa Maisky has been one of them. Argerich describes playing with him as “the most natural thing in the world” while Maisky says, “I have to admit that I fall in love with Martha anew, in the broadest sense of the term, every time when we meet. One just can’t help doing do and I believe that’s how most people feel who meet her.” At Martha Argerich’s 30th performance as part of the Ruhr Piano Festival, we too have the chance to fall in love with her and her art once again.

Worth Knowing For Your Visit

  • Performance Venue Grosser Saal

    The event is taking place in the Großer Saal, the heart of the Historische Stadthalle. Its famous acoustics, spectacular sense of space under a ceiling that is 17 metres high, its décor and galleries take one’s breath away time and again.

The FAQs for visitors and event organisers should answer questions concerning your visit or event organisation.

Directions

The Historische Stadthalle is located in the heart of North Rhine-Westphalia and lies in the centre of Wuppertal-Elberfeld. We are easily reached by public transport. The ICE train station and local bus stops are in the immediate vicinity.

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.

Accessibility

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.

A wheelchair is available in the building.

An unlimited number of wheelchair places is available in the Großer Saal.

Our concierge, foyer team and culinaria staff are happy to help should you need assistance at any time.
