Marketplace concert of the Stadtkapelle Radolfzell 1772 e. V.
Under the direction of its conductor Kuno Rauch, the Stadtkapelle Radolfzell provides a real open-air experience in the heart of the old town. The symphonic concert on the market square, which takes place every two years, is a cooperation between the orchestra and the town’s cultural office and is a highlight in Radolfzell’s music calendar. The Stadtkapelle Radolfzell 1772 e. V. is a symphonic wind orchestra with around 70 members, which has accompanied and enriched the cultural life of Radolfzell for over 250 years. For example, the band plays a major role in the Hausherrenfest and accompanies many other municipal events and celebrations. It is also dedicated to concertante symphonic brass music at competitions and on concert tours. As a prelude to the Market Square Summer 2026, the Stadtkapelle will offer its audience rousing concert brass music and more against the magnificent backdrop of the cathedral. A special concept will be developed for this, which will appeal to the audience as a whole. The program, interior design, stage set-up and lighting concept are all intertwined in keeping with the motto of the city’s anniversary. This transforms the market square into a place of captivating acoustic and visual impressions for visitors. Summer night feelings and all-round enjoyment are guaranteed!
Scenic song recital
But the history of Radolfzell has so much to offer that you get slightly stressed during the brainstorming session: what should you focus on? You could play out scenes from the Heilig-Geist-Spital to the Mettnau cure. Or would you rather sing the praises of Viktor von Scheffel? What about the vineyards, the pub culture or the Ratoldus fountain? And Schiesser? Schiesser must definitely go in!
That’s why this time the ZellAkkorde are telling lots of little stories about the town. The focus is on rather unknown women whose fate is linked to Radolfzell. However, male personalities such as Victor von Scheffel and Jacques Schiesser also have their say and sing. Embedded in various Radolfzell locations and institutions. An exciting anniversary evening!
Directed by Anny de Silva & Waltraud Rasch. Musical direction / accordion: Gerhard A. Schiewe from Berlin.

Anniversary Weekend with the Traditional Old Town Festival
The traditional Old Town Festival takes place on Saturday, complemented by exciting time islands and other activities. On Sunday, the focus is on historical and religious events – including a church service, procession and other special activities.
The weekend was deliberately chosen because September 13 is the anniversary of the death of Bishop Radolf, the founder of the city.

World premiere of the work MODI RADOLFI CELLAE
A specially composed symphonic suite was created for the town’s 2026 anniversary, bringing the vibrant life of Radolfzell in the Middle Ages to life in five movements. Both secular and ecclesiastical scenes around the cathedral – from the hustle and bustle of the market to the ceremonies of the landlords – are traced in sound.
At its premiere, the 15-minute composition will be visually accompanied by a film specially produced for the individual movements by Radolfzell filmmaker Günter Köhler, which impressively underscores the historical motifs. The premiere will take place as part of the marketplace concert of the Radolfzell town band in front of the cathedral.
Ringing Minster
To celebrate the end of the anniversary year, the “Klingende Münster” invites you to an evening full of music, community and glittering lights. In the poetically illuminated Minster of Our Lady, musicians from the State University of Music Trossingen and the Radolfzell Music School will trace the 1,200-year history of Radolfzell in a variety of tonal colors.
Together they create a varied musical mosaic that takes listeners on an atmospheric journey through time.
The program will be performed twice on 12 December – at 5.30 pm and 7.30 pm.
Between the two concerts, at 6.45 pm, a special communal experience will take place on the market square (no admission charge):
After the welcome by Lord Mayor Simon Gröger, all those present will transform into a large choir under the direction of Pia Löb (cantor of the Christuskirche) and sing Advent carols together. Accompanied by a brass ensemble made up of the brass choir of the Christuskirche and the Radolfzell youth brass orchestra under the direction of Norbert Steiner and Kuno Rauch, this creates a moment of solidarity and a musical symbol of the togetherness that makes Radolfzell so vibrant.
Open Sunday “Musik uff de Gass”
The “Musik uff de Gass” event will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Around 90 stores will be open in Radolfzell town center from 12:30 to 17:30.
Among other things, visitors can expect great live music on this day, which will be played at various locations throughout the city center – everything from classical to brass to jazz music. They can also expect a wide range of culinary delights. Admission to “Musik uff de Gass” is free.
The event is hosted and organized by Aktionsgemeinschaft Radolfzell e.V.
Further information will follow in mid-2026.
