«Peter Ablinger – weissrauschendes Gedenken»

The «Festival Rümlingen» pays tribute to composer and long-time friend Peter Ablinger († 17 April 2025) with a melodious commemoration.

With his unmistakable artistic signature, thoughts that became audible, and numerous world premieres, he shaped and helped to mould the «Festival Rümlingen» over more than 30 years into what it is today.

The evening will be dedicated to shared memories and will be accompanied by short speeches and an aperitif.

On Sunday, 3 May, there will also be a farewell walk with chairs in Rümlingen. The meeting point is at 12 noon in front of the church in Rümlingen.

With

Marc Baltrons, Florian Grand, Raphaëlle Proust, Sylwia Zytynska, Egidius Streiff, Ensemble Impronext, the Molto Crescendo string orchestra, Christian Dierstein, Daniel Ott, Marcus Weiss and others.
