1–2) Theater on Wednesday Evening (15.04.2026, each at 19:30)
1) “The Climate (No Pressure)” – Play Development with Contemporary Reference
Date: Wednesday, 15.04.2026, 19:30
Venue: Rehearsal Stage at City Theater, Theaterstraße 21, Würzburg
This world premiere focuses on the climate crisis and communication patterns: How do we talk (privately, publicly, digitally) about a topic that affects everyone, and why do we so often talk past each other? If you are looking for contemporary, discussion-provoking theater, you will get a focused evening here.
2) “Extrawurst” – Comedy about Club Logic and Escalation
Date: Wednesday, 15.04.2026, 19:30
Venue: Kammerspiele, Valentin-Becker-Straße 2, Würzburg
Price range (according to information): Advance sale from 19 €
A seemingly harmless club evening tips over – and suddenly prejudices, questions of power, and group pressure are in the air. If you are looking for an accessible entry into Würzburg’s theater program, this satirical intensification of “everyday debates” is an obvious choice.
3) Old Town Tour: Würzburg Compact in 90 Minutes (15.04. & 16.04.)
Dates: Wednesday, 15.04.2026, 10:30 am and Thursday, 16.04.2026, 10:30 am
Meeting point: Tourist Information at the Market Square, Würzburg
Price (according to information): 13.90 €; reduced 11.90 €; children up to 14 years 1 €
Cathedral, town hall, Old Main Bridge: The tour combines central stops with everyday stories. For visitors, it’s a quick introduction, for locals often a “second look” at details you usually pass by.
Planning tip: The morning slot pairs well with a quiet museum afternoon – or as a prelude to an evening at the theater or concert.
4–7) Music from Organ to Hip-Hop (16.–18.04.)
4) Organ Concert for Easter at St. Kilian Cathedral (16.04.)
Date: Thursday, 16.04.2026, 19:00
Venue: St. Kilian Cathedral, Würzburg
Price (according to information): 10 €; reduced 8 €
Works (according to program) by Bach and Demessieux, among others, as well as an improvisation: If you are looking for a focused evening atmosphere, experience the cathedral as a sound space – calm, central, and without the “grand hall” threshold.
5) Jazz at Kunsthaus: “Swing That Thing” (17.04.)
Date: Friday, 17.04.2026, 19:00
Venue: Kunsthaus, Semmelstraße 42, Würzburg
Price (according to information): Box office 10 €
Pop melodies are “jazzed up”, jazz titles “rocked up”: The evening is especially suitable if you like improvised music but are in the mood for genre crossovers instead of “pure doctrine”.
6) Hip-Hop at Youth Culture House: MAIN CONCEPT (17.04.)
Date: Friday, 17.04.2026 (please check time with organizer in advance)
Venue: Youth Culture House, Würzburg
An evening for urban sounds and scene networking: The Youth Culture House stands for culture that is not only consumed but also co-created. If you want to experience Würzburg beyond the classic venues, this is a suitable program point.
Note: No time was given in the original text. Please check the start time on the official announcement of the venue or the city event calendar on the day.
7) Classical Highlight at Mozartareal: “Eine kleine Nachtmusik × Moonlight Sonata” (18.04.)
Date: Saturday, 18.04.2026
Venue: Concert Hall at Mozartareal, Hofstraße 11, Würzburg
Times (according to information): Additional matinée 11:00 am and evening concert 19:00
The combination of well-known works makes the concert visit low-threshold – at the same time, the music in the hall often feels more immediate than in the “headphone version”. If you can only make one appointment on Saturday, decide according to your daily rhythm: Matinée for a culture-rich morning or evening concert as a classic weekend highlight.
8–9) Art & Exhibitions (flexibly plannable, with focus on Saturday)
8) Artist Talk: “Sophie Brandes: SA TALAIA” at Spitäle (18.04.)
Date: Saturday, 18.04.2026, 16:00
Venue: Spitäle, Würzburg
Exhibition times (according to information): Tue–Sun & holidays 11:00–18:00; Fri until 20:00; Mon closed
Artist talks are rare “key dates”: You get background information first-hand and can better classify your own impressions. If you want to not only view but also understand and discuss contemporary art, you should plan this date.
9) Exhibition “Myth of Mother” at Museum am Dom (flexible planning)
Period: Visit possible during opening hours in the coming days (please check daily)
Venue: Museum am Dom, Würzburg
The exhibition looks at idealized and real mother roles and shows how artistic positions make expectations, breaks, and symbolism visible. As a program point, it is particularly suitable if you want to fill a quiet time slot between fixed times (tour/concert/theater).
10) Piano Evening as End of the Week (19.04.)
Piano Evening with Annika Treutler at Gethsemanekirche
Date: Sunday, 19.04.2026, 17:00
Venue: Gethsemanekirche, Straßburger Ring 127, Würzburg
Price (according to information): Box office 18 €; reduced 10 €
On the program (according to information) are works by Hartmann, Mendelssohn, and Ullmann. The mix of familiar and rarely played pieces is what makes it appealing: a focused, chamber music conclusion that once again consciously focuses on the content and history of the music.
Practical Information (for Tickets, Times, Arrival)
- Times & Tickets: Check the official pages (theater/venue/organizer) on the day of the event, especially for remaining tickets, admission times, and last-minute program changes.
- Arrive early: For events with box office (e.g. jazz), it’s worth allowing some buffer to get a seat comfortably.
- Accessibility: If you need step-free access or specific seats, clarify this directly with the venue in advance.
