The Herrenchiemsee Festival was founded by Enoch zu Guttenberg and was one of the conductor’s many passions. In 2000, he tested the suitability of the Hall of Mirrors in Herrenchiemsee Royal Palace as a concert hall with a seven-day “Bach Festival”.

The concerts are a unique experience in both artistic and aesthetic terms.
