It's that time again: once again this year, the cour d'honneur of the Ludwigsburg Palace forms the heart of the Ludwigsburg Festival and attracts visitors with its free offer to experience concerts live via audio transmission. Amidst a circle of loudspeakers – the d&b audio sound circle – you can let yourself be surrounded by sound from 5 May to 5 June.
In the spirit of a »Festival of the Arts, Democracy and Sustainability« and also in the spirit of Joseph Beuys' proclamation »Everyone is an artist«, all Ludwigsburg residents were invited to join in. In this special year of distance, cohesion and the 100th anniversary of Beuys' birth, the Ludwigsburg Festival and Brad Hwang jointly recalled the transformative power of social sculpture.
In the 17 colours of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the former overseas container stands out against the castle backdrop in the cour d'honneur and, with its signal colours, invites visitors to meet and playfully engage with the 17 goals. The so-called 17Goals Space will open its container door daily from 5 May to 5 June.

Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (YsOU) was founded in 2016 on the initiative of the
conductor Oksana Lyniv, who opened the 2021 Ludwigsburg Schlossfestspiele with the Festspiel Overture. Many young
musicians of the youth orchestra are still in Ukraine, and the Slovenian Youth Orchestra is raising funds
the project »Music for future: Ukraine. Slovenia. Europe« project to raise funds for
evacuation, initial humanitarian aid and accommodation for the Youth Symphony

Since the rigged presidential elections in August 2020, Belarus has been in a state of emergency. The regime has reacted with unrestrained use of force to peaceful protests in which countrymen demand fair elections, but also many other basic rights that have been restricted for years. Among the protesters are the sisters' Maria Kalesnikava and Tatsiana Khomich. Jochen Sandig met the latter for an interview this year.
It is actually a very nice tradition when artists are presented with flowers at the end of a concert. In the spirit of sustainability, however, we would like to express our gratitude in the long term and instead of bouquets we give away certificates of tree and flower meadow sponsorships.
On World Environment Day, we, the Ludwigsburg Festival, would like to report on our own contribution to a climate-neutral and sustainable cultural landscape in the narrow sense and to the implementation of the 17 goals in the broad sense. It is very important to us to keep an eye on the effects of our institutional actions, to check them and to constantly improve them.
