The Heidelberger Frühling has been committed to supporting and empowering young musicians from its outset.

Its festivals and programme series have created unique platforms for individual growth, mutual exchange and interaction with established artists.

Excellent and open-minded young musicians can explore a wide range of artistic activities in an inspiring atmosphere. In doing so, they profit from the expertise of one of the most important festivals of classical music in the German-speaking world and are offered a wide range of opportunities to present themselves to the Heidelberger Frühling audience. Particular focus lies on the development of dramaturgical concepts and forms of presentation.

The Musikfestival 2026 (14 March – 18 April) also offers a stage for the protagonists of our future musical landscape. We are looking for musicians (primarily instrumentalists) aged 20 to 35 at the beginning of their careers who want to reflect on the social responsibility of their work and explore the broader scope of their profession.
