Unternehmen Musik
Is there such a thing as a unique selling point for Stuttgart and its region? There are many answers to this question. One of these is certainly the unrivalled concentration of medium-sized businesses, all of which are world leaders in their own fields. The Musikfest Stuttgart is responding to this diversity of Swabian inventive genius and entrepreneurship with the innovative format of our »Unternehmen Musik« series.
