During the three-month festival summer, the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival brings music to the most beautiful places in the state from mid-June to mid-September - whether in old manor houses, barns, factory halls, castles and churches or under the open sky. Promising young musicians perform here alongside world-famous soloists and international orchestras. The annually changing prizewinner in residence shapes the Festivalsommer with around 20 concerts. Series such as the "Landpartie", the "Junge Elite" and the children's and family program "Mäck & Pomm" form constants.

In 2022, violinist and conductor Emmanuel Tjeknavorian will make his mark on the Festivalsommer as "Prizewinner in Residence".
