New Music from Egypt excites at RPM Museum Hildesheim

New Music from Egypt encounters museum depth and live-played sound colors at RPM

At the Roemer- and Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim, the matinee on September 20, 2026, at 11:30 AM will be a special concert experience: The Chamber Orchestra Hannover concludes its series with New Music from Egypt and connects current compositions, Egyptian sound traditions, and a subsequent short tour through the new Egypt permanent exhibition. The focus is on musical exchange, the meeting of Nay, Darabuka, and European chamber music, as well as a finale that opens the view to the musical present. The regular admission is 18 euros per person. ([rpmuseum.de](https://rpmuseum.de/konzert-matineen-im-rpm/))

Sound bridge between the Nile and Lower Saxony

This matinee does not rely on pure concert glamour but on a lively orchestration of tradition and modernity. Adham Badawy, drummer, composer, flutist, and singer, brings his experience from Cairo and international festivals; Momen Mustafa complements the perspective as a Ney player, composer, and educator focusing on Arab Maqam Music. Together with the Chamber Orchestra Hannover, a musical narrative emerges that opens the space between Mediterranean rhythm, fine woodwind colors, and classical ensemble culture.

A museum that brings sound and history together

The Schafhausen Hall in the RPM Museum Hildesheim offers a fitting setting for this concert experience: The atmosphere remains intimate, focused, and acoustically precise, while the new Egypt permanent exhibition provides the thematic resonance space. After the concert, curator and mummy expert Oliver Gauert will guide through the exhibition, linking the heard pieces with questions about music in the age of the Pharaohs and their impact in the present. This makes the event not only a matinee but a cultural double event with concert and tour. ([rpmuseum.de](https://rpmuseum.de/konzert-matineen-im-rpm/))

Why this event stands out

The combination of premiere character, transcultural exchange, and museum educational depth gives the morning a rare density. Anyone who loves contemporary concert formats will experience here not a standard matinee, but a finely curated program with clear dramaturgy: new composition, Egyptian instrumental art, European sound language, and a conclusion in the museum. It is this connection that makes the event in Hildesheim particularly attractive for music lovers, cultural audiences, and all those seeking concerts with substantive depth.

The concert matinee at RPM Museum Hildesheim promises an inspiring morning full of sound, history, and encounters. Anyone who appreciates new music, chamber orchestra sound, and the special setting of a museum should mark this date and experience it live.
