Presenter
The WDR Symphony Orchestra
The WDR Symphony Orchestra is one of the leading orchestras in Germany. Despite its strong regional presence, with the renowned Kölner Philharmonie as its home venue, it has a high national and international reputation. It performs in the major concert halls throughout Germany and Europe such as the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg or the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, at festivals such as the BBC Proms and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival as well as on tours throughout Asia and Europe. CD productions, winning the Annual Prize of the German Record Critics or the International Classical Music Award, complement the ensemble's portfolio. Since 2019/20 season, the WDR Symphony orchestra has been under the baton of Cristian Măcelaru, who joins a long tradition of important principal conductors, including Christoph von Dohnányi, Gary Bertini, Semyon Bychkov and Jukka-Pekka Saraste.
A strong engagement with contemporary music contributes significantly to the ensemble's artistic identity: Since the 1950s, the WDR Symphony Orchestra has been writing music history with its concert series "Musik der Zeit" (Music of Our Times). With over 750 world premieres to its credit, the orchestra is one of the world’s most important commissioners of contemporary compositions.

The WDR Symphony Orchestra is also committed to making classical music accessible to a broad audience. Many of its concerts are broadcasted on television, radio, via live streams or as video on demand. The ensemble inspires young listeners in music education projects such as the "Concert with the Mouse", Germany’s most popular children’s TV character; but also offers adults an introduction to the world of classical music with the "WDR Happy Hour", short concerts in the early evening with a presenter explaining the works performed. With its Traumwandler music videos, the orchestra succeeds in creating a completely new way of classical music storytelling.
