Musik in den Häusern der Stadt

At “Musik in den Häusern der Stadt” (“Music in the City’s Homes”), Cologne becomes a stage for unique concert experiences: living rooms, studios, galleries, law offices, and other extraordinary venues open their doors to music. Instead of large concert halls, you can expect an intimate atmosphere in which to experience artists and their music up close.

Over several evenings, the Kunstsalon Festival brings a range of musical styles and discoveries to the city. Whether jazz, pop, classical music, singer-songwriters, or experimental sounds, the programme invites you to discover new favourite music and experience Cologne from an unusual perspective.

Each evening combines a concert with the special charm of its host venue. This creates intimate encounters between music, audience, and city – making for a festival experience that adds a cultural dimension beyond the familiar stages to your visit to Cologne.
