International Music Festival Koblenz (IMUKO)

The International Music Festival Koblenz (IMUKO) is one of the most important classical festival series on the Middle Rhine. The artistic director is the internationally acclaimed Koblenz cellist Benedict Kloeckner, who is sustainably shaping the city's classical music scene with his initiative.

Concept

IMUKO is a year-round festival with twelve to fifteen concerts between March and December. The focus is on young international virtuosos who perform together with Benedict Kloeckner and established ensembles such as the German Chamber Orchestra Berlin. The program ranges from classical and romantic (Haydn, Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann) to modern and contemporary works.
