70 Years CSM: An anniversary that brings Düsseldorf to sound
The Clara Schumann Music School celebrates its 70th anniversary on November 8, 2026, with a grand anniversary concert at the Tonhalle Düsseldorf. Under the title This is how anniversary sounds, young musicians from various orchestras come together, turning the Mendelssohn Hall into a stage for musical diversity, joy of playing, and collective growth.
From the first note to the grand concert stage
The Clara Schumann Players, the U16 orchestra of the Tonhalle, and the youth wind orchestra of the Clara Schumann Music School present a program that combines classical orchestral music with film music and internationally influenced soundscapes. Several conductors lead the ensembles through the evening: Angela Fiege, Jenny Heilig, Frieder Ziemendorf, Luke Pan, and Nicolao Valiensi.
Between operatic pathos, anime, and grand screen music
The musical journey ranges from Giuseppe Verdi's overture to Nabucco and Ludwig van Beethoven's overture to Fidelio to Jean Sibelius' Finlandia and excerpts from Georges Bizet's Carmen Suites. Additionally, there are orchestral soundscapes from the world of film: Ennio Morricone's Once upon a Time in the West as well as compositions by Joe Hisaishi from My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, and Moving Castles.
Orchestral work as a promising sound of the future
The concert shows how musical education grows beyond individual lessons. In ensemble work, precision, synchronization, and mutual listening meet the energy of young stage performances. When the orchestras perform individually and together, a unique live atmosphere is created: well-known melodies gain new colors, grand tutti passages unfold their full effect in the Mendelssohn Hall, and many individual voices create a collective sound.
An evening for classical fans and curious explorers
The dramaturgy connects opera, symphonic music, wind orchestra sound, and modern film music. It is this mixture that makes the anniversary concert a diverse concert experience for families, classical audiences, and everyone who wants to experience young talents in large ensembles. Since its founding in 1956, the Clara Schumann Music School has stood for musical education, cultural participation, and promotion of young talent in Düsseldorf.
Conclusion: Young voices, great sound moments
The anniversary concert 70 Years CSM – This is how anniversary sounds combines musical tradition with fresh stage energy. Visitors can expect a varied evening with well-known orchestral works, moving film music, and the special feeling of witnessing the musical future come to life. Those who want to experience the sound power of young ensembles and the festive atmosphere of the Tonhalle should mark this concert date.
