On March 26. the participants of the »Spoken Moments Poetry« workshop met in Ludwigsburg and spent six intensive and creative hours at Palais Grävenitz under the motto »Type. Man. Character.« Whether writing or organizing: everyone was able to contribute as he or she wished, to prepare the concert on May 15, 2022, as part of the Ludwigsburg Festival. The resulting texts finally met the «Monograms« by the contemporary composer York Höller. On our digital stage, you can now watch the exciting process, from the first meeting up to the final bow.
The mass as a genre of church music has a long development behind it: over the course of time, initially monophonic chants developed into increasingly complex musical works with the goal of an artistic aesthetic. The strict liturgical binding gave way to the establishment as an independent musical genre – a process that we would like to explore in more detail using the masses of the three major B’s as examples.
A spherical dive begins as soon as the first note of trumpeter Marco Blaauw connects with the film »Moving Picture 946-3«. The joint project of visual art, film, composition and live music, which can be experienced at Scala on June 24, is preceded by an exciting genesis.
Sasha Waltz is one of the most important choreographers of our time. Like hardly anyone else, she has managed to continue the historical heritage of expressive dance and modern dance, which is so strongly rooted in Germany, on the international stage, while at the same time questioning and renewing it through influences of postmodern dance. By taking a look at her creative history, we want to explore more closely the dialogue in which she allows the physical forms of dance and the spatial forms of architecture to enter.
On 10 July, the Freiburg guest performance »THE 3RD BOX« comes to Ludwigsburg. The four performers let the audience take part in their journey of coming to terms with their gender and their identity and thus want to encourage self-reflection. Those who wish to explore the topic in more detail can take part in the »3RD BOX WORKSHOP«, which offers a safe space for exploration and exchange on four dates in the preceding week of July. Kit and Balthazar are performers in »THE 3RD BOX« and lead the workshop together with Gary Joplin. In the interview, they give insights into the process and tell us what was and is close to their hearts.

Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (YsOU) was founded in 2016 on the initiative of the
conductor Oksana Lyniv, who opened the 2021 Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele with the Festspiel Overture. Many young

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.
On World Environment Day, we, the Ludwigsburg Festival, 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.
