BrunnenHofkonzerte Trier
Free open-air concerts in the medieval Brunnenhof from May to September
About BrunnenHofkonzerte
The BrunnenHofkonzerte are the municipal counterpart to the curated jazz series “Jazz im Brunnenhof” and use the same venue for a broader, free-to-access format. Programmatically, the focus is on choral and brass music with occasional crossover accents. The series reflects the active club life of Trier and the greater region and allows Trier choirs and music associations to perform annually in a prestigious municipal context.
An important program component is the guest performances of international ensembles from Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg – a consequence of Trier's special geographical location on the border with Luxembourg and in close proximity to the Belgian region of Wallonia. This international component is deliberately cultivated by ttm GmbH and strengthens Trier's perception as a cross-border cultural hub.
The Brunnenhof offers around 200 seats; the acoustics are favorable due to the surrounding sandstone walls. In case of bad weather, concerts may occasionally be relocated or postponed – information available from ttm GmbH and the festival website.
BrunnenHofkonzerte — edition 2026
The 2026 season falls within the World Heritage anniversary year, gaining additional attention. A denser program is expected with special thematic concerts for the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage site. The complete program will be published by ttm GmbH in spring 2026.
