The Telemann Commemoration and Research Centre is dedicated to researching the life and work of Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the most important sons of the city of Magdeburg and a world-famous 18th-century composer. Another of the centre’s main responsibilities is the compilation of the “Telemann-Auswahlausgabe”, a selection of Telemann’s best compositions produced as a joint project between the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg, Magdeburg, the Capital City of the German Land of Saxony-Anhalt, and the German Land of Saxony-Anhalt itself. The Telemann Centre is also home to an academic research library and archive that contain special collections relating to 18th-century music and make the facility a popular port of call for researchers from all over the world.

Alongside the “Schinkelsaal”, “Gartensaal” and “Kleiner Saal” halls, the Society House also contains three parlours that are ideal for an extremely wide variety of different events. These facilities provide concerts, readings, talks, presentations and cabinet exhibitions, as well as congresses, conventions and cultural further education events in the field of music, with a suitable venue in a historic setting. In fact, the team of staff at the Society House strives to offer its guests and visitors a diversified, interesting and educational programme of events both in the building itself and in the “Georg Philipp Telemann” Concert Hall in the Monastery of Our Lady.
