Open-air concert in Lübeck: variety of music under the starry sky!
On Friday, July 4th, 2025, things will really get down to business in the courtyard of the European Hanseatic Museum in Lübeck. At 7:30 p.m. there will be an open-air concert with the “Crazy Trumpets and Friends,” which is sure to create a magical atmosphere. The event promises a varied program of around 70 minutes with music from a wide variety of genres.
The performers are truly a treat for the ears: trumpeters from the Philharmonic Orchestra such as Joachim Pfeiffer, Matthias Krebber and Lukas Paulenz perform together with a string ensemble. In addition, the soprano Sarah Sieprath will show her talent, while Saskia Schmidt-Enders will support the sounds on the piano. The repertoire ranges from “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Freddie Mercury to works by Astor Piazzola as well as highlights from musicals such as “My Fair Lady” and famous ballet music, for example from “Romeo and Juliet”.
Free party for everyone
The best part? Entry is free! If you want to secure a spot in the inner courtyard, you should hurry as the seats are already sold out. But don't worry, there's plenty of standing room waiting for visitors who want to enjoy the concert up close. It is clearly emphasized here: Music is for everyone - and here we are again in line with Johan Huizinga's theory of homo ludens, which puts the person playing at the center. It shows how important it is to shape and promote culture and social discourse through games and music.
In keeping with this event, games and cultural interactions are also the topic of a current nationwide study. This records the situation of music festivals in Germany and their relevance for the cultural landscape and regional economy. The focus is not only on the economic aspects, but also on sustainability, diversity and inclusion. These study details, carried out between November 5th and 25th, 2024, can be accessed through various channels in the summer of 2025, and they will definitely generate important discourses around festivals and cultural events.
Experience and enjoy diversity
Music festivals in particular promote social interactions and offer space for cultural diversity. This includes not only large open-air events, but also workshops and educational formats that require a lot of commitment from volunteers. At a time when games and cultural events are more intertwined than ever, such events clearly show how music and games can contribute to shaping our culture.
In any case, the “Crazy Trumpets and Friends” concert in the Hansemuseum will be a highlight of the summer program in Lübeck. So if you're looking for an unforgettable evening full of musical diversity, you should mark July 4th, 2025 in red on your calendar!
