Schumannfest Düsseldorf

Since 1981, international Schumann festivals have taken place in May/June in Düsseldorf, initiated and supported by the Robert Schumann Society in Düsseldorf, established in 1979, and which for a long time have included academic symposia alongside. The proceedings of the Schumann symposia have been published in the Schumann Research series (Schumann-Forschungen), edited by the Robert Schumann Society. The precursors to the international Schumann festivals in Düsseldorf, now taking place every two years exactly since 2004, are found in the Schumann festivals organised there for the first time in 1920.
