Concert | 20.08.2026 – 22.08.2026
meetMUSIC Open Air
Sometimes it takes just one note to set everything in motion. A cello that touches your soul. A grand piano that breaks boundaries. A trumpet that bathes the evening in golden light.
Classical music is not a static state. It is a process. In 2026, we’ll show just how vibrant it sounds today: virtuosic, powerful, open. More classical in repertoire—fresher in expression.
The meetMUSIC Open Air stands for music that doesn’t hide behind tradition, but carries it forward.
Sound in motion.
And you right in the middle of it.

Malte & Gutu
Family Concert Loosely Based on Hans Christian Andersen
A court, an emperor, and the instrument of the year 2026: the accordion.
In Andersen’s fairy tale, the song of a nightingale moves the ruler. A sparkling toy nightingale replaces her—a mistake. The real singer returns and becomes the savior. Humorous, interactive music with Nico Gutu and narrator Malte Arkona; afterward, the audience can try out the accordion.
Start: 4 p.m.
