In idyllic villages, charming half-timbered towns or romantic beech forests, it's musical, literary and entertaining - the Kultursommer Nordhessen presents first-class concerts in an extraordinary setting from 28 May to 12 August 2023.
Focal points include the series "Fritzlar in front of the Cathedral", "Folk in the Park", the figure theatre festival "Blickfang", the "Forest and Folding Chair Concerts", the "Children's Summer of Culture" and the "Summer Symphony" with international young orchestras. The Ballhaus am Schloss Wilhelmshöhe became the venue for the new chamber music series for the first time in 2022: "Into the Open", brings together the ensembles of leading music academies and training institutes. Also new in the season was the "Lieblingslieder" series, a request concert for all listeners and fellow singers. Whether popular hits, evergreens, folk songs - every guest is invited to gather a colourful bouquet of favourite songs and sing them together. And so it may be that an old folk song is immediately followed by a rock or pop title - the audience always decides by vote which song will be sung next, including campfire and bottled beer.
