Kyburgiad
The Kyburgiade is a chamber music festival that takes place every summer in the courtyard of the Kyburg . When the weather is bad, games are played in the town hall in Winterthur .
The festival was founded in 1992 by the three siblings Stephan Goerner (cellist with the Carmina Quartet ), Adrian Goerner and Ruth Zenger. Radio DRS 2 broadcast concerts of the festival and thus made it more popular. In 1999 the festival was awarded the City of Winterthur Culture Prize. From 1992-2017 Stephan Goerner was artistic director, since 2018 the artistic director has been Markus Schirmer .
Since 2009 there has been a "Lenzburgiade" based on the event at the Kyburg at Schloss Lenzburg , also under the artistic direction of Markus Schirmer .
