Brugg Festival
Overview
Intro
The Brugg Festival is known for its unique mix of artists that can only be found here. Often, they meet each other for the first time.
Shall we start with the end? Christoph Eschenbach will conduct the closing concert of the 2026 Brugg Festival. What more needs to be said to express our joy and gratitude for what we have achieved over the past four years? Musical highlights, a sense of wonder, and attention extending far beyond the city and the canton have motivated us to once again create a program that will inspire. As always, the threshold should be low enough for everyone to come in—and enjoy classical music at the highest level.
Thematically, this time we’re focusing on nature—more specifically, the forest as a place of relaxation. I was inspired by the nonprofit organization “Buser World Music Forum,” which supports the festival and is dedicating this year’s program to the forest. In nature, all generations come together—just as they should at the Brugg Festival.
Our family concert “Peter and the Wolf” is just one example of our excellent collaboration with local schools. I couldn’t imagine the festival without the music education project “echo,” because we want to reach children and young people from all educational backgrounds.
The Brugg Festival stands for a mix of artists that can only come together here. Often, they’re meeting for the first time. I try to intuitively bring people together who, through their collaboration, create something special. We want to offer everything: opera, orchestra, chamber music, and cross-genre performances. This creates a festival community of hand-picked artists—and the audience can feel that, too. Secure your seat and look forward to twelve enriching concert experiences.
