Location: DJH Youth Hostel in Blaubeuren (between Stuttgart and Munich in southern Germany)
Dates: February 5–9, 2027

It’s that time again: We’re excited to welcome you to the Carnaval du Cor in 2027! This time, we're staying for the first time at the DJH Youth Hostel in Blaubeuren. The festival begins on February 5 at 3:00 PM and ends on February 9 after breakfast, around 9:30 AM. The big final concert will take place on February 8 at 7:00 PM in the Pauluskirche in Ulm. If you have to leave early on Tuesday, you can head home after the concert on Monday (around 9:00 PM) without missing anything – but let’s be honest: you really don’t want to skip the farewell party!

We’re planning to drop the line-up of instructors and professors in summer 2026. Stay tuned – it’s going to be legendary, as always!

Who is the festival for?

For horn students and horn enthusiasts who know that focused music-making and serious partying are not mutually exclusive. Minimum age: 16 years. The playing level is high but also manageable for ambitious non-students. Since almost all pieces are arranged by us, we can take individual strengths and weaknesses into account.

The arrangements will be available for download at least three weeks before the festival starts, giving you plenty of time to prepare.

With that in mind – best wishes from Augsburg & Hamburg!

Benjamin Comparot & Markus Meyr-Lischka
