Big anniversary: Elbland Festival invites you to the Festival of Lights of Dreams”!
In Wittenberge on July 11th and 12th it's all about music and dreams: The Elbland Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary with a special event under the motto “Festival of Lights of Dreams”. The venue is the atmospheric rooms of the Old Oil Mill, which prove to be the perfect backdrop for this big anniversary.
This year, the Elbland Festival is not only celebrating a quarter of a century of cultural diversity, but also a turning point in its success story. Loud Northern Courier This will be the last event in the current format. The 26th edition next year will bring fresh formats to the stage, but remain true to the high musical quality and the outdoor experience.
Colorful program with star guests
What can visitors expect? A brilliant line-up with varied performances! The Italian singers from “Appassionante” will perform, among others, and will delight with their mix of opera and pop music. The “Impulso Tenors”, an international tenor project, are also expected. Angelika Milster, known from the musical “Cats”, and Phil Bates, former member of ELO Part II, will rock the stage as special guests.
Another highlight is the appearance of Jochen Kowalski, a celebrated countertenor who thrilled the audience in 2009. Steffi Irmen, another star of the evening, will provide insights into her current solo musical. The whole thing is accompanied by music under the direction of the renowned Babelsberg Film Orchestra, conducted by Christian Köhler.
Promoting young talents
Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auch auf der Förderung junger Künstler: Die Sopranistin und Cellistin Lara Hüsges sowie der Bariton Yiorgo Ioannou geben ihr Bestes und stellen ihr talentiertes Können unter Beweis. Both artists represent cultural diversity, which should remain a central component of the Elbland Festival in the future.
