- Heidelberger Frühling
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

- If, contrary to expectations, the competition is cancelled without substitution due to official requirements, all applicants who have been admitted to the competition will receive a refund of the participation fee of 100.00 €.
- If participants whose home or place of study is abroad and who are travelling from there are unable to enter Germany due to official travel prohibitions and thus cannot participate in the competition, we will also refund the participation fee of 100.00 € to them.

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.
