And now it’s getting European on Friday, June 7: before the usual »Frei Luft Musik« concert begins, this time featuring the festival orchestra’s trombone quartet, the Baden-Württemberg State Ministry, together with local associations and institutions, invites you to the European Action Day on Ludwigsburg’s market square!
Our residencies offer you the opportunity to experience selected artists on several evenings in Ludwigsburg. In 2024 you can be thrilled by the two ensembles VOCES8 and Mahler Chamber Orchestraas well as the pianist Fazıl Say several 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.
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.
