Classical music seasons in Germany and Switzerland

Overview

Classical music seasons in Germany and Switzerland have transitioned from summer festival conclusions to the opening of new performance seasons.

In August, the 17th International Summer Academy concluded with various soloist performances in Germany, including works by Mozart and Karol Szymanowski. Simultaneously, the 8th Klosters Music festival in Switzerland reported record attendance of approximately 5,000 visitors. This edition also marked the conclusion of artistic director David Whelton’s eight-year tenure, with Christoph Müller announced as his successor.

By September, the focus shifted to the opening of new seasons in German cities. In Saarbrücken, the Deutsche Radio Philharmonie launched its season under chief conductor Josep Pons with a program themed ‘Olymp’ featuring works by Debussy and Ravel. In Berlin, chamber music performances by the Philharmonisches Streichquartett were scheduled for mid-September, featuring compositions by Schubert, Brahms, and Beethoven.
