Music school festival: open-air concert on 4 July

The big music school festival will take place on Neutorplatz on 4 July. Over 300 children and young people perform a colourful programme during the free open-air concert.

Whether choir, orchestra, band or ensemble - throughout the afternoon and evening, music students will showcase their skills on stage. The audience can look forward to a varied programme with impressive musical performances: from the youngest wind players and a children's musical to full-blown bands and orchestras.
