At the weekend, Bremen was spoiled with a grand prelude to the music festival. The city will be in the sign of music for the next three weeks until September 7th. The program is not only limited to Bremen itself - numerous events in the surrounding area show how diverse and enriching the music scene in the region is.

A highlight will be the concert in the Findorffkirche in Grasberg next Saturday, August 24, at 7.30 p.m. The event is part of the ARP Schnitger Festival integrated in the music festival and is dedicated to the immortal work of Johann Sebastian Bach. The ARP Schnitger organ, a tonal jewel that was once played by Bach will be the focus.

Bach evening with first-class artists

Romina Lischka, a talented musician, has developed a special program that aims to present the sounds of Bach's music in a convincing way. Her Hathor Consort, a string ensemble, ensures the musical accompaniment that is very familiar with the nuanced facets of Bach's works. This evening, the bass baritone Harry van der Kamp, from the Netherlands, can also be heard. The organizers emphasize his impressive career: van der Kamp is not only an experienced opera singer, but also impressively documented his art with over 100 CD recordings.

"If he starts some of the most beautiful bass arias from Bach cantatas, he will undoubtedly demonstrate his impressive vocal culture and intelligibility," said the organizers. You see him as one of the best -known voices in his subject, which makes the anticipation of this performance all the greater.

The ARP Schnitger organ and the first-class artists will make the evening an unforgettable experience-further proof of the lively and diverse music scene in the region.

an evening for music lovers

The combination of historical music and local culture makes the event particularly interesting. Music lovers and those interested in culture have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Bach and to experience the impressive skills of the invited artists up close. At a time when live music and cultural gatherings may be valued even more than before, this evening in Grasberg is an excellent example of the power of music that brought people together.

The music festival in Bremen has a long tradition that goes back to the 1970s. At that time it was launched to create a room for different music styles and bring musicians together from different countries. The festival has developed steadily in recent decades and has become one of the most important music events in northern Germany today. In addition to classic performances, modern interpretations and innovative projects are also presented, which appeals to a broad target group.

A striking feature of the music festival is the inclusion of regional venues. The inclusion of cities such as Worpswede and Lilienthal not only promotes local culture, but also creates a network of supporters for the music scene in the region. Smaller cities also benefit from the cultural events, which promotes economic and social development on site.

The role of the ARP Schnitger organ

The ARP Schnitger organ is a central element of the music highlight in Grasberg. This organ, which is considered a masterpiece of the organ building, was created in the 17th century by the famous organ builder Arp Schnitger and is known for its full, round sound. She not only attracts musicians but also the audience, which has the opportunity to experience the tonal subtleties of a historical instrument.

The organ is not only played in concerts, but is also part of teaching programs that enable young musicians to develop their skills. The connection between traditional and contemporary music practice is a strong argument for the preservation and appreciation of such instruments in today's time.

Visitor numbers and interest in music festivals

According to statistics on the visitor development of music festivals in Germany, current surveys show an increase in interest in such events. In 2022, over 2 million people visited music festivals in Germany, which corresponds to an increase of 10 % compared to 2021. The combination of traditional and innovative music culture in particular seems to attract many people. Special highlight events, such as the ARP Schnitger Festival, help to continue to raise these numbers.

The increasing popularity of such events also has economic implications because they not only attract viewers, but also boost local business and services. Many regions gain visibility and attraction through cultural events that represent real added value for the community.
