The Kirchner Museum Davos has announced that Davos Festival will take place on 10 August 2026, with a concert on the theme 'Courage' scheduled from 8:00 pm to 9:10 pm. The museum’s programme listing gives the event a ticket price of CHF 55 and links readers to the festival website for the programme and ticket sales. The museum’s event page names Kirchner Museum Davos as the venue, but the source material does not provide any further details about the performance itself beyond its title and timing.
The announcement appears among a summer programme that mixes exhibition-related mediation, family events and collaborations with local partners. In the same newsletter, the museum also lists a summer festival in the Kirchner Park, an open studio format developed with Living Museum, themed tours and yoga sessions linked to the current exhibition 'FARBENRAUSCH'. The Davos Festival entry is presented as one of several August dates the museum wants visitors to plan for in advance.
The museum’s newsletter and event pages show how closely its public programme is tied to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s Davos legacy and to questions of colour, perception and artistic practice. Some of the summer events refer directly to Kirchner’s work and life in Davos, including guided walks in his footsteps and a tour that places colour theories in dialogue with selected works by the artist. Other activities are more broadly participatory, such as open studio sessions for adults and young people aged 16 and over.
For the Davos Festival listing, the museum provides only the essentials: the date, a single evening time slot, the concert theme and the ticket information. The original German notice says, 'Konzert zum Thema “Courage”', and directs audiences to the Davos Festival website for the full programme. No artist lineup or repertory is included in the museum’s own announcement.
The surrounding schedule places the August concert alongside events earlier in July that are rooted in mediation and public engagement. 'Sommerfest im Kirchner Park' is set for 5 July from noon to 5 pm and promises a family day with jazz, activities and food stalls. 'Offenes Atelier - Living Museum' is scheduled on selected Fridays in July from 10 am to noon, with registration required by the day before at 3 pm. The museum also lists 'Um Farbtheorien kreisen' on 11 July and 'Spezialführung mit Juraj Lipscher' on 19 July, both from 4 pm to 4:45 pm.
The museum’s public-facing materials describe the current exhibition 'FARBENRAUSCH' as the backdrop for several July programmes and for a weekday guided-tour schedule on Tuesdays and Sundays. The ticket page for the exhibition lists standard admission and reduced rates, while museum opening hours are given as Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm, with Monday closed. Within that programme framework, the Davos Festival concert on 10 August is one of the more compact entries: a single evening event, a one-hour-and-ten-minute slot, and a direct link to the festival’s own ticketing page.
