Again, the international music festival will draw more than 30.000 aficionados from all across the world to roughly 90 events with numerous renowned artists.

Yet the “Heidelberger Frühling” (Heidelberg Spring Festival) is more than a festival of stars – above all, it is a festival of encounter and dialog. In addition to the great festive concerts, a mainstay of the program is the furthering of young musicians from all over the world and an intensive interactive concentration on selected themes in master courses, discussion groups, lecture series, composer portraits, school projects and academic symposia. Special emphasis is given to the encouragement of contemporary music and towards making contemporary music accessible to a broader public.
