About us

The Heidelberger Frühling creates a variety of musical encounters all year round – from festivals and concerts to competitions and academies to discussion formats and conferences. Since 1997, every year in March and April, the greats of the classical music scene, but also promising young talents have been guests in over 120 events at the Heidelberger Frühling music festival.

As part of the year-round subscription series “Kammermusik Plus”, chamber ensembles and solo artists come to the stage in the old auditorium of Heidelberg University once a month. The company also organizes the Heidelberg Music Conference – a specialist conference for European festivals, cultural workers, agents and concert halls. In 2016 we also founded the International Song Center Heidelberg, which takes on the art form of the song in all its breadth. One focus is on promoting young artists who rethink the song across genre and genre boundaries. The Lied Center Heidelberg includes the biennial singing competition “Das Lied” chaired by Thomas Quasthoff, the Lied Academy under the direction of Thomas Hampson, the Lied.Labs as interdisciplinary and innovative concert formats and the Neuland.Lied song festival, which will take place for the first time in 2022 becomes.
