The Frankfurt Radio Symphony is famous for its dynamism and is held in high esteem around the world. Its chief conductor Alain Altinoglou is also Music Director of La Monnaie in Brussels and was named »Conductor of the year« at the International Opera Awards. Turkish pianist and composer Fazıl Say, 2008 Musikfest prize laureate, is one of the most fascinating personalities in classical music. His new piano concerto »Mother Earth«, inspired by nature’s four elements, paints a portrait of the beauty of our world while at the same time giving a voice to the climate crisis.

1, 2 or 3 out of 18 – how it works

Around the market square, nine venues will each host two 45-minute concerts in three time slots. All venues have two shared intervals for spontaneous encounters and stimulating exchanges. Individual tickets can be booked for each event at a standard price of 33 euros, so you can choose for yourself whether you would like to attend one, two or three concerts to start off the festival!
