Concert of the Salon Orchestra: Neustrelitz Orangery shines again!

A touch of nostalgia wafts through the rooms of the Orangery in Neustrelitz, which has been open to the public again for around a year after being closed for five years. The Orangery, a listed building from grand ducal times, has established itself as a popular venue for exhibitions, concerts, readings and private celebrations. On Sunday, July 27th, the Orangery will once again be the focus when the Neustrelitz Salon Orchestra performs in the Yellow Hall at 4 p.m. The building is not only the “birthplace” of this orchestra, which gave its first concert here in 1997, but also a special place full of history and culture.

The orangery was built from 1753 under the direction of Martin Seidel as a winter garden for exotic plants. The renovation in 1842 converted it into a garden salon and an antiques collection. The walls of the halls are decorated with stunning Pompeian-style murals, and niches contain replicas of neoclassical sculptures. A visit here is not just an experience for music lovers; The on-site café and restaurant also invite you to linger and offer barrier-free accessibility on the ground floor. You can also access the adjacent garden through the arbor, which is equipped with a children's fountain by Albert Wolff and a water feature on the orangery forecourt. For many visitors, the Orangery is a place where history and culture meet and where relaxing hours can be spent.

A festive musical event

The salon orchestra, consisting of 18 talented musicians, will captivate the audience under the direction of Walter Diesterhaupt. The ensemble will be supported vocally by Sabine Denkinger, while Johannes Groh will lead the program. If you don't want to miss the concert, you can only purchase tickets on site at the Orangery, An der Promenade 22. The Orangery can be reached by telephone on 03981 4531571 to receive information about the event.

Historically, orangeries have a long tradition and were originally places where frost-sensitive plants could overwinter. The term “orangery” emerged in the 17th and 18th centuries when such buildings were built extravagantly for the display of exotic plants. The revival of ancient allegories shaped the design, which featured large windows and representative architectural features. The Orangery in Neustrelitz is an excellent example of this tradition, in which not only plants, but also culture and history play an important role.

Overall, the event with the salon orchestra is a highlight in the Orangery's cultural program and an expression of the revitalization of this unique historical building, which is of great importance for both the city of Neustrelitz and its visitors. The date has been set: July 27th, 4 p.m. The visit will not only be worthwhile for music lovers!
