Editor for concert programs

With more than 190 concerts and over 90,000 visitors per year, the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Festival is one of the largest classical music festivals in Germany. International orchestras, the stars of the classical music scene and many other well-known artists as well as the international “Young Elite” can be experienced in castles, manor houses, churches, barns and “unheard of places” throughout the country during the festival summer from June to September. The festival winter and the Rügen festival spring are further pillars of the festival year.
