classic

The symphonic programme is the centre piece of the südtirol festival merano . meran. Here the performance starts already on the subtropical Kurhaus esplanade where festive music is playing while you are walking over the red Kurhaus carpet toward the magnificent Kursaal. The Kursaal is one of the most beautiful concert halls in the Alps which is also why renowned orchestras, musicians and top music ensembles have been gathering here for four decades to write musical history.

The liaison of südtirol festival merano . meran and baroque music has existed ever since the beginnings of the festival.

Soirees in Tirol Castle

Every Thursday in mid-summer the ancestral castle of the Counts of Tyrol is brought to life, opening up its doors for music from all the world. The Soirees celebrated their debut in 1990, in occasion of the 850th anniversary of Tirol Castle. Ever since, all major music ensembles have performed here. Today, the Soirees offer all kinds of musical styles, ranging from medieval music to jazz. The premises are unique due to their extraordinary acoustics: the concert hall is set in a free-hanging wooden structure, creating a sound quality, similar to that of a string instrument.
