Music of the gardens
How did we come up with it and what exactly do we want?
Music students rehearsing daily on campus, open band concerts in numerous pubs and well-run music schools are proof that Oldenburg is home to many talented artists. They are all looking for opportunities to perform - we have the right stage for them. The unique atmosphere, the lovingly tended landscape and the diverse design predestine the Botanical Garden to provide an extraordinary stage for a wide variety of artists from our home region.
Music in the Gardens is intended to become a regular event that creates a stage for lesser-known artists and regional music schools. The focus is on a non-competitive atmosphere - so no musical genre or talented artist was excluded. The only limiting factor was the maximum number of places available. We received a fantastic response. After just one month, all the places were taken and the waiting list grew at a rapid pace. That makes us want more!
