Mozartfest
The Mozartfest touches us anew every year: The many venues – from the magnificent Kaisersaal to the modern generator house in Bürgerbräu, from the stage in the middle of the city to the quiet monastery church – let Würzburg shine in the sound of music for an entire month.
The city breathes, lives, and celebrates this festival – on every corner, at any time of day.
For me personally, the Mozartfest is a high pleasure of musical superlatives, which I would like to share with you as curator with great pleasure. I highly recommend these special concert experiences to you.
If you would like us to include you in our mailing list, please send us an email to:

I look forward with all my heart to welcoming you to these festive days in Würzburg.
With kind regards
