In the 2026/27 season, the Gürzenich Orchestra will once again open its doors to musical morning drinks at the Belgisches Haus – and with it, a glimpse into its backstage world.

How do you organise an orchestra tour? How does an audition work? How is an education project developed? We provide close-up insights, tell stories from everyday life and lift the curtain – step by step. Over pretzels, Kölsch beer and cold drinks, musicians, guests and staff chat with you and give you a glimpse behind the scenes. Personal, direct and without the distance of a podium, an exchange takes place beyond the spotlight.
