The HIDALGO Festival Munich is a festival for classical music in Munich that took place for the first time in 2018.

The festival is named after the song "Der Hidalgo" by Robert Schumann and is supported by the non-profit HIDALGO GmbH and the HIDALGO eV, founded in 2016.

program

The festival was initiated in 2016 by Tom Wilmersdörffer .

The programmatic focus is on art song and vocal music as well as on cross-disciplinary and cross-genre concert formats. In its productions, the HIDALGO combines classical music with sound and video installations , performance , slam poetry , street music , chamber music or electronic dance music, among other things . The events run in concert halls, clubs and unusual places such as barber shops, hotel lobbies and hunting museums.

For the production Scroll in Tiefsee (2019) , which linked classical music with new technologies, the City of Munich awarded the Young Art / New Media scholarship for music . The jury wrote in its reasoning:

"Even at its premiere, the innovative and contemporary program and location design proved that the relocation of the art song genre is bringing it back to its origins, which lie at the beginning of the bourgeois era: it was always the very individual and direct form of artistic expression - beyond the Forms, conventions and institutions. "

Successful young artists (e.g. Andreas Burkhart , Alexandra Flood , Ludwig Mittelhammer , Matthias Winckhler ) appear on the stage ; the patron has been the baritone Christian Gerhaher since the first season in 2018 . The newly founded HIDALGO Festival Orchestra performed for the first time in 2019 as part of the festival, which includes instrumentalists from the Munich Philharmonic , the Bavarian State Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra .
