Brandenburg summer concerts

The Brandenburg summer concerts have, in the past, lured artists and ensembles such as Vladimir Ashkenazy, Barbara Hendricks, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and Leipzig's Gewandhaus Orchestra on an outing to the country – with their audiences in tow. For this is a festival where the Brandenburg countryside plays a powerful role. Concerts are combined with castle or village tours; punting trips and steamboat cruises have musical accompaniments. And to get you in the mood for all this culture, there is plenty of coffee and locally made cakes on offer wherever you go!
