Programme and line-up changes

We do our best to avoid programme and line-up changes. However, despite all our efforts, changes in the programme and/or line-up at short notice in certain cases and concert cancellations at short notice are possible. We therefore recommend that you visit koelner-philharmonie.de shortly before your visit to see if any changes have been made to the programme or course of the concert.
