Everything revolves around Berlin at the international music festival in Bad Kissingen from 21.6. to 21.7.2024. Otto von Bismarck, who visited Bad Kissingen a total of 15 times between 1874 and 1893, provided the inspiration. The splendor of his visits lasted for many years and contributed to the fact that numerous spa guests came from Berlin well into the 20th century.
As every year, the innovative festival program is presented by world-class orchestras and top-class artists in the unique ambience of the Kissingen concert halls: In the world-famous Max Littmann Hall, for example, the BBC Symphony Orchestra under Sakari Oramo, the Konzerthausorchester Berlin under Joana Mallwitz or the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra under Sir Simon Rattle can be experienced. The double guest performance by the Komische Oper Berlin with a Kurt Weill evening and the musical comedy "Eine Frau die weiß, was sie will" is likely to be a highlight.

Renowned soloists include Vilde Frang, Hélène Grimaud, Lucas and Arthur Jussen, Jan Lisiecki and Christian Tetzlaff. The chamber music programs are also top-class with Avi Avital, Julia Fischer, Daniel Müller-Schott and Grigory Sokolov, to name but a few. The musical spectrum ranges from jazz formats to chanson evenings with the incomparable Désirée Nick and the charismatic Tim Fischer. Director Alexander Steinbeis invites you to artist talks on Saturdays, while prelude concerts with ensembles from the guest orchestras revive the tradition of serenades in the various squares of Bad Kissingen.
