Mozart? A festival! 29.05. - 28.06.2026

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:

mozartfest@hotel-wuerzburgerhof.de

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

With kind regards
