8. Solothurner Horntage
Overview
Intro
For one weekend, Solothurn transforms into a hotspot for horn music: international soloists come together with musicians of all skill levels. Admission to the concerts is free.
From September 11 to 13, 2026, the Solothurn Horn Days—one of Europe’s largest horn festivals—will take place for the eighth time. Around 190 horn players of all ages will come together to make music.
The Solothurn Horn Days bring international horn soloists and enthusiastic up-and-coming talents together on one stage. Participants also perform in ensembles themselves—from beginners to professional musicians. In addition to concerts featuring instructors and horn soloists from across Europe, ensembles composed of students from numerous music schools will also perform.
The program is rounded out by master classes, workshops, and lectures led by the stars of the scene.
Admission to the concerts is free and open to anyone interested.
