From the artful whistler to the nuanced string quartet to the exhilarating joy of improvisation: Every year from late October to mid-November, the Kassel Music Festival explores musical realms that often transcend genre boundaries. In 2026, from October 22 to November 1, under the theme: What moves you?

October 22 through November 1, 2026

The 2026 Kassel Music Festival explores what it is about music that sets us in motion—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spatially—both within ourselves and between us. With a program spanning early music, improvisation, and contemporary soundscapes, the Kassel Music Festival demonstrates just how diverse and moving concerts can be today.
