Leschs Merlin Festival 2026: When music, science, and big questions meet

From July 31 to August 2, 2026, the Leschs Merlin Festival in Polling and Weilheim combines scientific thoughts, climate crisis, nature, and music into a special multi-day experience. The festival begins in the library hall Polling and moves to the town hall Weilheim on August 1 – featuring concerts, readings, and immersive light art. Organizers and ticket partners refer to a curated program with four events and two venues. ([starnbergammersee.de](https://www.starnbergammersee.de/detail/id%3D6a5f02f7e69fa55d03d31852))

A festival with attitude and sound

Leschs Merlin Festival relies on the rare mix of chamber music, literature, and current debate. The opening with the Merlin Ensemble Vienna, Maximilian Maier, and Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream creates a poetic beginning, while Harald Lesch and Philipp Geist transform the town hall Weilheim into a cosmic light and sound image on Saturday. On Sunday, another evening titled Laudate Deum addresses the climate crisis, closely intertwining music and text.

Venues with atmosphere

The library hall Polling is considered a historical concert hall with a special aura; the venue in Polling is located at Weilheimer Straße 1. For the Weilheim portion of the festival, the city names the town hall at Wessobrunner Straße 82362 Weilheim i.OB as the event location. This creates a switch between intimate hall atmosphere and urban cultural moment – ideal for an audience that appreciates proximity, acoustics, and strong content.

Tickets, program, and festival character

During pre-sale, specific prices start at 14 Euros for the family concert and 15 Euros for the opening; for Orbits - Immersive, the starting price is 16 Euros. Thus, the festival remains accessible while not compromising on artistic depth. The program is aimed at adults, families, and culture-interested visitors looking for a curated multi-day experience instead of a classic mass festival.
