Dear friends of the Herrenchiemsee Festival,
\nToday we would like to present the program of the Herrenchiemsee Festival 2025 \u2013 in gratitude for the fact that you have made the past festival summer a special success together with us and in anticipation of new concerts with outstanding ensembles and soloists. For summer 2025, we cordially invite you to experience unique moments of art together with our artists in Frauenchiemsee Minster and the Royal Palace on Herreninsel.
\n\u201cTime of flourishing\u201d \u2013 With this life-affirming motto, which carries the unconditional belief in the constant return of the new and beautiful, we are also referring this year to the thoughts of Ludwig II, who, despite all the real historical turmoil, was absolutely convinced that he was living in a \u201ctime of flourishing\u201d. Ludwig followed with amazement and above all interest how quickly new developments and innovations were able to assert themselves in his time. The king was just as enthusiastic about new technical achievements as his boundless admiration for Richard Wagner\u2019s music and his \u201cwork of art of the future\u201d.
\n\u201cTime of Blossoming\u201d \u2013 We are taking the motto further and would like to use the Herrenchiemsee Festival 2025 to highlight great moments in music history in which new musical epochs developed to perfection. It is therefore no coincidence that Bach\u2019s Mass in B minor closes the program as the monumental pinnacle of Baroque sacred music: a touching Catholic mass across all denominations from the pen of a Lutheran deeply rooted in the Protestant faith.
\nSeveral concerts also focus on the miracle of Mozart: his Great Mass in C minor, both unfinished and the pinnacle of classical sacred music, stands for the complexity of Mozart\u2019s genius. Another focus of the Herrenchiemsee Festival 2025 is dedicated to Johannes Brahms\u2019 symphonic music. His work represents the end and culmination of the classical side of Romanticism: in his symphonies, Beethoven\u2019s spiritual legacy culminated in the sound possibilities of the Romantic orchestra.
\nIn addition to a select program, we are particularly honored that His Royal Highness Duke Franz of Bavaria will be the patron of the Herrenchiemsee Festival 2025 together with Kent Nagano. We welcome the KlangVerwaltung orchestra and choir, who have a special relationship with our festival, as well as the Hofkapelle M\u00fcnchen, the Westdeutsche Sinfonia and the Basel Chamber Orchestra, Concerto K\u00f6ln, the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and the Munich Chamber Orchestra \u2013 not least \u201cIl Giardino Armonico\u201d as one of the leading baroque ensembles of our time and the LGT Young Soloists as a young, top international ensemble that exemplifies our motto this year.
\n\u201cTime of Blossom\u201d \u2013 We cordially invite you to share these moments of beauty as a lived emotion with us and look forward to seeing you!
\nSincerely
\nYours, Josef Kr\u00f6ner
