Klassik 2.0
There are concert formats that showcase works. And there are those that open up spaces.
Klassik 2.0, founded by violinist Julian Schad, falls into the second category. Since 2024, a new form of music-making has been taking shape in the historic Marstall on Lake Starnberg—one that deliberately navigates the expectations of classical music: accessible, focused, and faithful to tradition—yet offering a fresh perspective on it.
With the highest artistic standards and innovative formats, we create special moments that touch, connect, and inspire—and give young and freelance artists a stage for the future.
Following the success of the 1st Klassik 2.0 Festival in October 2025, we are pleased to announce the program for our 2. Klassik 2.0 Festival 2026 to introduce Lunchetime and Evening concert am Samstag, 13.6. in the Knights’ Hall at Kempfenhausen Castle, and on Sunday, June 14, with a band, a DJ, and a live broadcast of the German national team’s first World Cup group stage match: Germany vs. Curaçao at the Marstall am See in Berg.
The musician behind it
Julian Schad is a versatile, authentic musician with heart. After graduating with distinction from the Royal Academy of Music in London, he performed in venues such as the Elbphilharmonie, the Berlin Philharmonic, and the Royal Albert Hall. Influenced by music from an early age, he played the violin, drums, trumpet, and piano—always supported by his close connection to his four siblings. Today, he is a concert violinist, concertmaster, and chamber musician, as well as an initiator of new formats. With “Klassik 2.0 / Club,” he has been bringing classical music to the stage in fresh contexts since 2024.
