An evening full of elegance, esprit, and great tonal colors at the Nikolaisaal

On January 16, 2027, at 19:30, the 5th Symphony Concert invites you to the Great Hall of the Nikolaisaal Potsdam. The program features a classic concert evening with the Chamber Academy Potsdam, guiding its audience into a finely balanced sound world between stylistic clarity and orchestral tension.

French sophistication meets Viennese classical

The program of the 5th Symphony Concert combines Mozart, Saint-Saëns, Ibert, and Poulenc for a night full of contrasts and vibrant colors. Just looking at the selection of works shows how consciously sound language, sense of form, and historical references intertwine: from the spirited overture to the finely shaped Sinfonietta. This mix makes the symphony concert particularly appealing to classical music fans. ([nikolaisaal.de](https://www.nikolaisaal.de/programm/veranstaltung/5-sinfoniekonzert-11.html))

A venue with experience and good connections

The Nikolaisaal is centrally located in Potsdam, and according to venue information, the box office opens one hour before the event begins. The venue explicitly recommends public transportation due to limited and paid parking availability. Wheelchair users will find an elevator in the courtyard for barrier-free access to the concert and event hall. ([nikolaisaal.de](https://www.nikolaisaal.de/agb.html?utm_source=openai))

KAP as a shaping force of the Potsdam classical scene

The Chamber Academy Potsdam is the orchestra of the state capital Potsdam and the resident orchestra of the Nikolaisaal. Since 2001, it has been a fixture in the local music scene; since 2025, François Leleux has served as chief conductor and artistic director. This institutional anchoring provides the symphony concert with authority, profile, and artistic continuity. ([potsdam.de](https://www.potsdam.de/de/kammerakademie-potsdam?utm_source=openai))
