Lenzburgiade Folk + Classical Openair
Overview
Intro
The secluded castle courtyard in Lenzburg is a magnificent backdrop for classical music greats and leading world music ensembles. A week of summer events in a great atmosphere.
Summer sounds again - and like every year, it sounds different. In 2026, from June 16 to 21, the Lenzburgiade invites you to immerse yourself in a week full of encounters and diverse musical discoveries in the open air.
The festival opens with a brilliant "Zoological Fantasy" in the castle courtyard: sharp-tongued, witty and virtuosic, satirist, cabaret artist and Switzerland's fastest instant protagonist, Patti Basler, together with her stage partner Philippe Kuhn on the piano and the young soloists of the Rahn Kulturfonds, will provide an animalistic delight. On Metzgplatz, the program continues: from Scottish folk drive with KinnarisQ and the sonorous cultural journeys of the Taraf Syriana Ensemble and Constantinople to innovative Swiss folk soundscapes with Kinimode and the electrifying fusion of MOIRA x OTRAVA.
In the castle courtyard, the dramaturgical line with SONICO leads to the great tango pioneers Piazzolla and Rovira, to a symphonic pop project with Sina and the argovia philharmonic and Daniel Hope's Irish-Baroque sound journey "Irish Roots". The festive finale is provided by I Tempi, Gevorg Gharabekyan and Oliver Schnyder with Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert: a "classical" evening in a traditional guise, but lively, vibrant and completely in the present.
A popular animal fable also opens the doors for young and old ears: Fränzi Frick tells the story of the famous Ferdinand the bull in the family concert.
As always, culinary variety, dancing, conviviality and the special atmosphere of the castle courtyard and the old town play a special leading role. The interplay of art and joie de vivre makes the Lenzburgiade the Lenzburgiade!
