What tasks should institutions such as the Konzerthaus Stadthalle fulfill in the future? In the lounges – the discourse format on the festival weekends – guests from the worlds of culture and science will discuss the festival theme "Back Forward". The audience is invited to take part in the subsequent discussion.

"The audience makes the music" is the title of Sven Oliver Müller's study, which examines the behavior of classical music audiences in the European metropolises of the 19th century. The Berlin historian works out how citizens and aristocrats "communicate or fight each other through and in opera and concert performances". What kind of society did a venue like the Stadthalle Heidelberg, which opened in 1903, represent back then? And what has changed since then? Sven Oliver Müller looks back and forward.
