Heidelberger Frühling
The festival of curiosity – the Heidelberger Frühling abides by this mantra every year. Extraordinary artists meet each other and the audience in a personal atmosphere and use the space provided by the festival in order to experiment with new perspectives. - Streichquartettfest
Streichquartettfest
It is the microcosm of musical collaboration – and string quartet enthusiasts travel from all over the world to Heidelberg to participate. Every year an ignition of audience and international quartet community happens through dialogue and discussion. Which makes them far more than guardians of the past. - Calendar & Tickets

»Das Lied« 2021 – CANCELED
The competition, which had been postponed to May 25-29, 2021, has to be canceled entirely due to the pandemic. Against the background of the current developments, we cannot guarantee the fairness of the competition and a safe environment for the participants, who come from all over the world. The competition is held every two years and therefore takes place the next time in 2023, much likely including this year’s repertoire of songs by Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann and Aribert Reimann. Together with Thomas Quasthoff, founder and jury chairman of the competition, it was decided that this year’s contestant can apply in 2023 even if they have reached the age limit of 32 years. This year’s registration fee will be fully refunded.

Even more Lied
Heidelberg’s reputation as the city of the art song is not only due to its history. In addition to the song contest, the “Heidelberger Frühling” music festival organizes a Lied Academy with Thomas Hampson, numerous song recitals with internationally renowned artists as well as rising stars, and even a song festival called “Neuland.Lied”. In order to give the genre of Lied even more visibility, the International Song Centre Heidelberg was founded in 2016.
