What remains of a Disney movie when the images fade? In the Max Joseph Hall , string quartets tell the familiar stories through music alone. Just a few bars are enough to transform the Munich Residenz into a fairy-tale land: Disney love songs fill the hall with the sound of a string quartet and transport you to a world of fairy tales and memories. If you’d like to experience “Candlelight: Disney Love Songs” at the Munich Residenz, you’d better hurry—there are only two dates left in 2026: September 26 with the BPM Classic String Quartet and October 3 with the Sakurai String Quartet.
Cinema Without a Screen: What Makes the Max-Joseph-Saal So Impressive
This concert doesn’t need film scenes on a screen. When the string quartet plays “Can It Really Be Love” or “A Dream Come True,” everyone can relive the story in their own way. The Disney classics aren’t simply reenacted, but reimagined for a moment. And for one evening, the Max-Joseph-Saal becomes your very own personal Disney cinema—solely through the power of music.
The Max-Joseph Hall provides an elegant and atmospheric backdrop for the Disney melodies. Stucco decorations, sparkling chandeliers, and the hall’s intimate character create a special closeness between the audience and the string quartet. As part of the Munich Residenz, the hall is also closely linked to the city’s history of courtly art and music—a fitting venue to experience these familiar songs in all their subtle nuances.
Magical Film Music: Disney Melodies in a Chamber Music Arrangement
The one-hour concert brings romantic Disney melodies to life in the Max Joseph Hall—from *The Lion King* and *Aladdin* to *Snow White* and *The Little Mermaid*, all the way to *Coco*, *Encanto*, and *Rapunzel: Tangled*— By the light of thousands of candles, these familiar songs take on a new, chamber-music-style sound. If you’d like to attend, there are only two opportunities left this year: September 26 and October 3. If you’d like to attend, you should secure your tickets now—seating is limited!
