Live streams now in Immersive Audio The Digital Concert Hall now broadcasts every live concert in Dolby Atmos
Since the start of the 2026/27 season, the Digital Concert Hall has streamed every live concert from the Main Auditorium of the Philharmonie Berlin in Immersive Audio (Dolby Atmos). Direct sound, reflections and reverberation are reproduced in three dimensions, creating a much stronger sense of the acoustic space of the hall.
The first concert to be streamed in the new format was the season opening on 21 August 2026, conducted by chief conductor Kirill Petrenko. The Digital Concert Hall is the first classical-music streaming platform to offer live concerts regularly in Dolby Atmos. Its archive also includes concerts from the past nine seasons in Immersive Audio, at no extra cost.
“At the Digital Concert Hall, artistic excellence goes hand in hand with continuing technical innovation,” says Olaf Maninger, principal cellist and media board member of the Berliner Philharmoniker and managing director of Berlin Phil Media GmbH. “Being the first classical streaming provider in the world to offer regular live broadcasts in Immersive Audio reflects that commitment, and we are very proud of it. Immersive Audio brings the Philharmonie closer to listeners who cannot travel to Berlin: every week, they can experience our concerts in three-dimensional sound – almost as if they were sitting in the Main Auditorium.”
Dolby Atmos is supported by a wide range of devices, from headphones to multi-speaker home cinema systems.
