Percussion meets accordion
There is a special musical highlight for the anniversary year:
The Radolfzell Accordion Orchestra (conducted by Rudi Hartmann) and the percussion ensemble of the ”
” Music School in Radolfzell (conducted by Martin Deufel) will
- on Saturday, October 17, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. and
- , Sunday, October 18, 2026, at 5:00 p.m.
perform a collaborative piece, *
*, in the Small Hall of the Milchwerk Radolfzell.
In this world premiere, these very different ensembles gradually come together musically over the course of *
*, a four-movement work.
The sounds of these instruments are historically rooted in very different styles and eras,
and they are not always the same.
A wide range of musical influences will come together to form “
.” Both groups of musicians have long been open to the music of the
world and a wide variety of genres.
Thus, the soundscape you’ll hear will extend far beyond the clichés of tango, jazz, marches, and so on
. Classical polyphony is and always will be a means of expression; layered sounds
—as found in film scores—along with techniques of classical modernism and the grooves of popular music
span a wide range.
If you still can’t picture what this music is like, you’re right—
: it didn’t exist until now!
So the motto is: Come, listen, be amazed, and enjoy! It certainly won’t be a lecture—
—but rather an enjoyable evening of music that will feel like it goes by “too quickly.”
Trombone Choir Concert for the City’s Anniversary
Focus: Blech turns its attention to the world of brass instruments. The trombone ensembles of Christuskirche Radolfzell and Lutherkirche Singen present a varied program ranging from chorales to spirituals, from Baroque to pop—at times festive and radiant, at other times powerful and virtuosic.
What makes this concert evening special is the combination of music and imagery. Selected photographs and impressions of our city and its surroundings accompany the individual works, creating a bridge between music and home. Landscapes, iconic locations, and atmospheric views of the region enter into a dialogue with the music. The result is a concert experience that appeals to both the eyes and the ears: an invitation to listen, look, and discover.
A concert celebrating Radolfzell’s 1,200th anniversary. Admission is free. Proceeds from donations will go to the Badische Posaunenarbeit Foundation (http://stiftungskonzert.de/).
Radolfzell movie nights
The Radolfzell movie nights mean pure summer feeling! In a unique setting directly on the shores of Lake Constance, Radolfzell is transformed into a special kind of open-air cinema at the end of July.

A vote will be held early next year to select the films to be shown at the Film Nights in 2027.
Tickets will be available at the Radolfzell Tourist Information Office starting in early July 2027. Remaining tickets will be available at the box office, if any are left.
49th Radolfzell Christmas market
The Christkindlemarkt is a real institution in Radolfzell. In 2026, it will take place for the 49th time on and around the market square in front of the cathedral.

Younger guests particularly enjoy taking a spin on the nostalgic children’s carousel.
The food on offer from the catering associations and restaurateurs will have something for
every taste: whether it’s dinnele, fried fish, various soups, Schupfnudeln, grilled sausage in a sausage roll, chestnuts, waffles or crêpes.
And of course, mulled wine, punch and other wintry
drink specialties are not to be missed.
Further information on the program will follow at the end of 2026.
