Together with music educator Birgit Reithofer, we'll explore music with all our senses right on stage. Let yourselves be swept away and experience the sounds of violin, piano, guitar, or double bass up close. We look forward to making music and discovering together!

Concerts For The Very Youngest

This is how they are known and loved all over the world: 24 boys in sailor suits and their conductor demonstrate that music is the international language of emotions.

Friday Afternoon

A song full of depth, passion, and poetry: works by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Richard Strauss, and Francesco Paolo Tosti span a range from heartfelt Romanticism to Mediterranean melancholy. The program is complemented by tangos from Astor Piazzolla and Pablo Ziegler – a glimpse into modern soundscapes. Between German song tradition and Argentinian longing, an evening of moving intensity unfolds, carried by voice, piano, and accordion – entirely in keeping with the great festival tradition.

Cultural Lunch

Mica Levi moves effortlessly between worlds: from avant-garde band projects to experimental chamber music and her unique sound language created specifically for film. Her acclaimed soundtracks for Under the Skin, Jackie, and Zola have redefined the boundaries of cinematic storytelling—with sound as a protagonist in its own right.

LIGHT

The future prince of song gazed upon the chromaticism of Mozart's "Dissonance Quartet"—and in March 1813, at the age of 16, penned an early stroke of genius in just five days, carefree and bold in its harmony. The 22-year-old Antonín Dvořák composed 18 songs driven by heartbreak—and 22 years later arranged 12 of them for string quartet. Johannes Brahms, too, struggled for a long time before finally achieving his first string quartet, one that he considered truly valid. He had abandoned everything before it. With its selection, the Minetti Quartet offers a fascinating lesson in the quest for chamber music excellence.

Minetti Quartet

Television made him famous, but Stefan Jürgens has long since won over his enthusiastic audiences on the stage and as a singer-songwriter. Now, the Nestroy Prize winner celebrates poetry: in his first volume of poems, "Loveletters – Willful Love Effusions," and in his reading performance, "Call It Love."

Call It Love

Everything you wouldn't expect from a brass band: young musicians, a teenage composer, film scores from Harry Potter and the fantasy realm of Lord of the Rings.

Look forward to an energetic and varied program at the cultural lunchtime – guaranteed to be more stimulating than a double espresso!

In his melancholically beautiful piece "Youkali," Kurt Weill yearned for the unattainable land of our dreams. Yet Weill had long since fled the decadent Berlin of the "Golden Twenties" for Paris, the city of light that never slept, a meeting place for exiles and artists. The spirit of the era was captured by the North American F. Scott Fitzgerald in his novel "The Great Gatsby," while in Buenos Aires, Carlos Gardell rose to international tango stardom. Pain and hedonism, longing and hope pass by whenSona MacDonald,Sophie HeinrichandMiloš Todorovskion their musical and literary journey, they evoke the "Roaring Twenties".
