Festspiel Favourites
Unexpected musical experiences and personal encounters are trademarks of the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The festival programme includes a broad range of series and »festivals within the festival«, where visitors can discover and focus on particular elements through a wide range of supplementary activities such as guided tours, listening experiments, artist talks and discussions over several days.
Promising young artists from all over the world present themselves in the series »Junge Elite« and »Bothmer-Musik«. The »Landpartie« invites you to a musical excursion to the countryside. And the »Grenzgänge« format takes you into the young jazz scene. Discover more about our various Festspiel elements here.

Immerse yourself in the brilliant world of the saxophone
One theme, one weekend, many events: The patent of a certain Adolphe Sax from 1846 provides an opportunity for an all-round view this summer. The SIGNUM saxophone quartet as prize-winner in residence and its guests present the saxophone as an instrument with many faces: whether in the »Listening twice« format, in an exhibition with instrument maker Attilio Berni, as a jazz instrument with The Jakob Manz Project, in chamber concerts or even as a solo instrument in a world premiere by Christian Jost. There is so much to discover!
