Sustainability

The Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to sustainability in orchestral operations and has been working intensively for several years to make the Kulturpalast, the city's ‘living room’, more climate-friendly.

On this page you will find information on the ‘Culture for Future’ charter and the current sustainability index of the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra.

Culture for Future

The Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is committed to the ‘Culture for Future’ charter. 

From 100 per cent green electricity and fair-trade products in the tea kitchens to orchestra travel by train instead of plane - the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is active in a wide range of areas in order to use resources sparingly and provide art with a framework in which it has a future. 

In January 2022, numerous cultural institutions in Dresden committed to sustainable action in the ‘Culture for Future’ charter. The Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra is leading the way and has already developed concrete plans.
