Schubertiade 2026

Description

A festival dedicated to Franz Schubert. Giving him the rightful place alongside Mozart and Beethoven was the idea and goal of the first Schubertiade, which was founded in 1976 by Hermann Prey in Hohenems. The city in the Austrian Vorarlberg quickly became one of the most renowned festival locations and a popular meeting point for an international audience seeking encounters with outstanding artists in a manageable setting, and looking for clear definitions instead of a randomly interchangeable festival program: the uncompromising commitment to Franz Schubert. Today, the Schubertiade is the most renowned Schubert festival worldwide, with around 80 events and 35,000 visitors annually. Never before has such a large number of song recitals with the best interpreters in the world been scheduled within a short period. Chamber concerts and piano evenings at the highest level form another focus. The offering is complemented by orchestra concerts, readings, lectures, and master classes by prominent artists. Away from the usual festival hustle and bustle, it is a main concern of the Schubertiade to maintain an intimate character and to focus all energy on musical performances of the highest quality. Reflecting this claim, the list of artists who have visited the Schubertiade to date reads like a 'Who-is-Who' of the Lied and chamber music world. In addition, the Schubertiade also promotes young talents at the beginning of their careers and offers them the opportunity to present themselves to an equally knowledgeable and enthusiastic audience.
