Dear concert lovers!

Our 2026 piano series is dedicated to youth and new beginnings: the French term “prélude”, meaning “prelude”, refers not only to the beginning of a piece of music, but also to moments full of possibilities. In classical music, the prélude is a place of development: whether in Bach, Chopin or Debussy – it is here that atmospheric soundscapes, moving moods and poetic sketches are created.

The Nuremberg Recitals 2026 aim to capture this spirit: with a focus on a new generation of young musicians, innovative concert formats and an open atmosphere, our series is aimed at an audience that wants to experience classical music in a new way – lively, immediate and with an eye to the future! Seven outstanding artists will perform exciting works and host the evening. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to meet the musicians and the author in person during the ‘Meet & Greet’ event.
