Audi Sommerkonzerte goes online for the first time

Under the motto 'Together for Music', the Audi Sommerkonzerte will be held in Ingolstadt, Germany from 2 to 5 July 2020.

With four concerts streamed live from the Audi museum mobile and the hall for employee assemblies in Audi's GVZ industrial park, the festival will celebrate its 30^th anniversary with renowned artists and ensembles.

For loyal festival audiences, small open-air concerts will normally take place in Ingolstadt. The originally planned festival program, 'Lights of Europe', is postponed until 2021.

As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, the Audi Sommerkonzerte will be held on a smaller scale in its anniversary year, but with big names and outstanding artists.

In addition to the Artistic Director Lisa Batiashvili, ensembles such as the Budapest Festival Orchestra under Ivan Fischer, the Camerata Salzburg with Francois Leleux and Maximilian Hornung, and Quatuor Ebene can be heard and seen performing in unusual venues.

The concerts will be streamed live and free of charge on Audi's website, YouTube channel, Facebook page and on the social media channels of the performers. The livestream is also available at Audi MediaTV, the Audi MediaTV app and via Smart TV. Recordings of the four concerts will also be available for a short time afterwards on Audi MediaTV. The festival program will be presented in English by German television presenter Alexander Mazza.
