The sixth week of the festival is all about dance: we welcome the Akram Khan Company to Ludwigsburg and let ourselves be carried away by the multimedia dance theater retelling of the »Jungle Book«! We won’t be able to sit still for long at the concert, which has been moved to the Stiftskirche Wertheim due to the weather, when David Orlowsky & Friends provide a good mood with chamber music and jazz. Also relocated and due to the EM-Public-Viewings in the Marktplatz-Gastronomie in the Ev. Stadtkirche Ludwigsburg: the Frei Luft Musik with the string ensemble Quelle SURprise.
We will be guests at the Alte Kelter in Bietigheim, where the SIGNUM saxophone quartet will be playing their own arrangements of classical works. And, of course, another musical gem shines in our series of Ordenssaal concerts when Alexandre Kantorow plays romantic rhapsodies, character pieces and sonatas in his piano recital.
As public viewings are taking place around the market square this Friday and we want to listen to the virtuoso sounds of the four-piece string ensemble »Quelle SURprise« undisturbed, we are moving our »Frei Luft Musik« this Friday, July 5, to the Evangelische Stadtkirche Ludwigsburg, directly on the market square!
What will it be: an open-air concert, chamber music with a small ensemble or a full orchestra? We have the right event in our program for every taste, to sing along and to discover. Our concert compass will help you find your way!
To mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Turkish Republic in 2023, Fazıl Say composed a song cycle inspired by female poets who experienced the experienced the country’s developments at different times. Their texts about pain, oppression, the forces of nature and personal difficulties, but also of hope for a better tomorrow. On International Women’s Day, we are taking a closer look at this feminist program and at eleven courageous women who not only defy the tight corset of convention, but also write about it. conventions, but also write about it.
You can take part in several projects in the 2024 season. In addition to the regular and recurring participation formats, there are two sing-along projects and a dance-along project for all ages from 12 years upwards. You can find more information about each project on the corresponding production page. Perhaps there is something for you!
The new season's theme is loud and engaging. It envelops our festival programme like a pulsating sound cloud or sound wave. As usual, the characteristic colours of Daniel Wiesmann's new graphic design conceal yet another layer of meaning.
There are sure to be a few question marks before your visit to a concert. What do I want to listen to? What do I have to wear? And how do I behave during the event? Here you can read step by step what you need to know before visiting us – and where your worries may be completely unfounded.
It is actually a very nice tradition when artists are presented with flowers at the end of a concert. In the spirit of sustainability, however, we would like to express our gratitude in the long term and instead of bouquets we give away certificates of tree and flower meadow sponsorships.
Quatuor Ébène and the Rothko String Quartet recently made the Ordenssaal resound. But you can also expect particularly moving moments of string music with »Anastasia Kobekina Vivaldi«, the »Minguet Quartett Shubert«, and »Renaud Capuçon Schumann« in this year's Schlossfestspiele program. We took the opportunity to look behind the scenes of string instrument making. We talked to Bernward Goes, owner of the master workshop in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, about his profession and the differences between making a cello and a violin and the suitable wood.
We would like to report on our own contribution to a climate-neutral and sustainable cultural landscape in the narrow sense and to the implementation of the 17 goals in the broad sense. It is very important to us to keep an eye on the effects of our institutional actions, to check them and to constantly improve them. We have supplemented our interim assessment from 2021 with interim goals achieved and measures introduced in 2022.
