On Saturday, February 14, 2026, the Sinfonieorchester des KIT will perform at 8:00 PM at the Konzerthaus Karlsruhe under the title "50 Jahre".

The Sinfonieorchester des KIT invites you to an extraordinary concert evening full of emotion, virtuosity, and richness of sound. The program includes a dazzling waltz suite from Strauss’ "Rosenkavalier", which seduces the audience with its brilliance and charm, followed by Dora Pejačević’s Phantasy Concertante – a rarely heard gem for piano and orchestra that captivates with expressiveness and finesse. As a crowning highlight, Gustav Mahler's monumentally profound Symphony No. 5 will be performed, whose famous Adagietto stirs hearts and carries thoughts.

In June 1976, the "Instrumentalkreis an der Universität" first performed under the direction of Dr. Dieter Köhnlein, featuring works by Bach, Vivaldi, and Mozart. The ensemble continually grew and evolved into today's Sinfonie and Chamber Orchestras of the KIT. Both orchestras, still closely connected through shared members and interests, are therefore allowed to celebrate their 50th anniversary in 2026.

Admission: 7:15 PM
