Herbstgold 2025

Dear friends of music, it is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I present to you a first preview of the HERBSTGOLD - Festival 2025. In the coming year, you can once again expect unique musical experiences and unforgettable moments. As a violinist, I am particularly pleased to welcome one of the greatest violinists of our time: Janine Jansen. We are equally proud of the return of Hollywood legend John Malkovich, who will once again enrich our festival with his impressive presence.

We also present two of the most exciting piano virtuosos: the sensational Alexandra Dowgan, a true child prodigy, and the legend Sir András Schiff are guaranteed to shine and enchant the audience.
A personal highlight for me is the fulfillment of one of my greatest dreams: I will be able to play a duo recital with Sir András Schiff for the first time, a special honor that I have been looking forward to for a long time. Our resident orchestra, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, will of course be there again, as will the incomparable Janoska Ensemble with its unique “Janoska Style”. I am particularly proud to present the Kristiansand Symfoniorkester, of which I am the musical director, and the renowned BBC Philharmonic Orchestra for the first time. Further highlights will be the performance of the incomparable and world-famous duo Igudesman & Joo, pioneers of classical humor, and the impressive baritone Andrè Schuen.

We look forward to taking you back to the magical world of music in 2025 and experiencing unforgettable moments together.
