enjoy several days of the finest song recitals every year. The world's best singers, pianists and up-and-coming talents bring you sung stories.
classical songs are timeless. You probably know several that you sing or hum along as easily as well-known hits. And even those hits are regularly based on classical melodies. If there had been hit parades in times of composers like Schubert or Schumann, their ‘songs’ would undoubtedly have been on the top spot more than once. In their time, song composers were what singer-songwriters are today: interpreters of themes that are recognisable to everyone. Like makers today, they were innovators who wrote about what was on their minds and sought answers to social and personal questions. With their songs, they knew how to capture those great stories in catchy melodies. Melodies that became world-famous.
that we would like you to hear, we choose a theme each year. For 2026, it is Back to nature. Because nature has been a great source of inspiration for poets and composers for centuries. That is why we make nature itself our protagonist. After all, we live ín nature and its nature! So listen as friends to the most beautiful songs and experience the magical fusion of poetry and music.
