Outdoor Music Festivities: Exuding Elegance in Mönchengladbach - Pop and Classical Sounds Echo from the Castle
Why Do Summer Music Festivals Pack a Punch?
Perhaps it's the continuous influx of over 200,000 music enthusiasts year after year that hints at the appeal of these events. From my observations, it seems the enchanting ambiance in the castle courtyard plays a crucial role. Artists themselves seem to resonate with this vibe, yearning to share the stage.
A quick glance at the festival's history reveals that while some aspects, like the Classic Open Air and the collaboration between FUN and the youth symphony orchestra, have remained constant, other acts have rotated. Familiar faces such as Gregor Meyle, Helge Schneider, Goetz Alsmann, and Querbeat have graced the stage in the past, with newcomers like Michael Schulte raising eyebrows this year. Tribute shows, like Rumours Of Fleetwood Mac, have also garnered international attention.
One most anticipated act this season is Annett Louisan, with her enchanting duet with Heinz Rudolf Kunze, "Dein ist mein ganzes Herz". The combination of her extraordinary voice and the romantic essence of this classic hit promises an unforgettable performance.
