A Summer Full of Chamber Music in the Enzkreis
Mühlacker lies between Stuttgart and Pforzheim, in the far north of Baden-Württemberg. The Lienzingen district, with its carefully restored half-timbered houses and the famous Frauenkirche from the late 15th century, forms the backdrop for one of the highest-quality classical concert series in the Enzkreis. The Musical Summer is organized by the association Mühlacker Klassik e.V. and sees itself as a chamber music summer festival with a consistently well-thought-out dramaturgy.
The Frauenkirche Lienzingen
The late Gothic Frauenkirche, completed around 1488, is considered one of the most beautiful village churches in Southern Germany. Its clear spatial design, slender wall pillars, and acoustic that is neither too dry nor too reverberant make it the ideal venue for string quartets, small orchestras, and solo programs. Seating is limited – those who want a seat should book in advance.
Program Philosophy
Six concerts between early June and the end of September, all on Sundays at 11 a.m., all in the Frauenkirche – the format has been stable for years, and that is precisely the strength of the series. The programmatic range extends from the Baroque (Bach, Rameau, Purcell) through Viennese Classicism (Haydn, Mozart) to Bartók, Ravel, Messiaen, and Stravinsky. Always included is a concert featuring young talents – the series also sees itself as a platform for emerging musicians.
Atmosphere and Region
Lienzingen is located in the heart of the Stromberg-Heuchelberg Nature Park. Those who combine their concert visit with a hike in the vineyards or a trip to the neighboring monastery town of Maulbronn (UNESCO World Heritage site) can experience the full cultural spectrum of the region in one day. After the concerts, the local inns are well attended – a Sunday lunch with Franconian-Swabian cuisine perfectly rounds off the matinee.
Musical Summer Lienzingen — edition 2026
The 2026 edition spans a wide range: from Ukrainian folk songs to Haydn, Mozart, and Bartók, to Messiaen and a baroque interpretation of Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring'. The traditional concert with young talents on June 21 remains, once again showcasing a cross-section of music academies in Southern Germany.
