Düsseldorf, Germany (PRWEB) October 23, 2015 -- Adam Fischer, a celebrated conductor who has appeared on stages worldwide -- from Bayreuth to Scala and the Met -- has been announced as the new principal conductor for Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra. Fischer’s most recent successes were concerts of Gustav Mahler’s works with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra in Vienna, which earned him rave reviews, and his devotion for Mahler’s music will be at the core of his artistic time in Düsseldorf, now until 2020. The inaugural concert on November 20th will feature Gustav Mahler’s great Symphony No. 7 and Symphony No. 88 by Joseph Haydn.

The round building used to be the world’s largest planetarium when it was built in 1926. It was converted into a concert hall in 1970s, and offers superior sound and architectural experience.
