Recorder Festival Days 2026: Four Days of Festival Magic Conquer Bad Kissingen

Recorder Festival Days 2026: Early Music, New Impulses – Four Days of Sound Magic in Bad Kissingen

The international multi-day experience for recorder returns from May 14 to May 17, 2026, to the magnificent halls of the Regentenbau and the Erlöserkirche. Amidst festival atmosphere, masterclasses, Knowledge Corners, and a high-quality music exhibition, the early music community celebrates an intense weekend full of encounters, artist lineups, and finest open-air acoustic experiences in historic halls.

Spa Resort Flair Meets Top-Level Festival Organization

The 41st edition combines festival organization and artistic signature: Director Maurice Steger curates concerts ranging from intimate recitals to chamber music ensembles. Rooms in the Regentenbau like the Max-Littmann-Saal and Rossini-Saal provide reference acoustics; the Erlöserkirche lets sound colors shine. The fair with exhibitors, publishers, and instrument makers invites you to try out – a sense of community guaranteed.

Line-up Highlights and Stage Moments

On the main stage and side stage, international soloists and ensembles alternate: Opening concert Les Nations en danse (May 14), Wildes Holz & SPARK – The classical band, baroque sound journeys with Corina Marti and Ensemble FOWR, Flute’s Paradise with Michael Oman & The Austrian Baroque Company. In the late-night formats, Tabea Debus as well as Reza Asgarzadeh and Chouchane Siranossian show striking contrasts. The conclusion is marked by a musical service with the Bad Kissingen Chamber Orchestra.

Masterclass, Knowledge Corner, Intrada: Learn, Play, Connect

The multi-day experience thrives on exchange: The Intrada brings together players of all levels for the big festival orchestra. Masterclasses with Maurice Steger open artistic perspectives, while the Knowledge Corners provide practical impulses – from repertoire concepts to playing techniques. This creates a lively learning curve over all festival days.
