As part of its anniversary tour program “Wanderer zwischen den Welten” (Traveler Between Worlds), the Thüringen Philharmonie Gotha-Eisenach will open the Ilmenau Science Night with a special concert. The concert’s theme is “Modern Times: Music Meets Science.” Melodious music will be combined with exciting insights from the world of research. We are delighted that the Chamber Choir of the TU Ilmenau is closely involved in this performance and enriches the program. The OktoPLUS Ensemble of the Thuringia Philharmonic Orchestra Gotha-Eisenach will perform, ensuring a varied and impressive musical experience.

Afterwards, we cordially invite you to visit the Ilmenau Science Night and experience the diversity of science, technology, and creativity up close. Look forward to exciting experiments, interesting insights, and numerous hands-on activities for all ages. Let yourself be inspired, engage in conversation, and discover the TU Ilmenau from a whole new perspective. We look forward to your visit!
