Experiencing artists in conversation, gaining deeper insights into concert programmes, and exchanging ideas on topics together - this is what the artist and introductory talks surrounding the concerts of the Heidelberger Frühling are all about.

45 minutes before the concert begins, the introductory talk "Notenschlüssel", an offering of the Freundeskreis of Heidelberger Frühling, sheds light on the programme. It opens up further perspectives or background information and, if possible, also enters into dialogue with the participating artists or composers. After the concert, the audience gets to know the musicians in a close setting during an artist talk. In a dialogue with a member of the Heidelberger Frühling team, the musicians shed light on their career, their individual approach to the works, and thematic contexts.

Both formats accompany concerts at the Heidelberger Frühling Musikfestival. The concert dates for the next edition in 2024, as well as the "Notenschlüssel" and artist talks will be announced here end of September 2023. Participation for the audience is free of charge.
