Open-Air concert in Lübeck: variety of music under the starry sky!

On Friday, July 4, 2025, the courtyard of the European Hanseatic Museum in Lübeck is really down to business. At 7:30 p.m., an open-air concert with the "Crazy Trumpets and Friends" is listed there, which certainly creates a magical mood. The event promises a varied program of about 70 minutes with music from a wide variety of genres.

The participants are truly a pleasure for the ears: trumpeters of the Philharmonic orchestra such as Joachim Pfeiffer, Matthias Krebber and Lukas Paulenz appear together with a string ensemble. In addition, soprano Sarah Sieprath will show her talent, while Saskia Schmidt-Enders supports the sounds on the piano. The repertoire ranges from "Bohemian Rhapsody" from 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 Julia".

Free feast for all

The best thing about it? Entry is free! If you want to secure a place in the courtyard, you should hurry up, because the seats are already sold out. But don't worry, sufficient standing room are waiting for the visitors who want to enjoy the concert up close. It is clearly emphasized here: Music is there for everyone - and we are back in line with Johan Huizinga's theory of Homo Luden, which focuses on the playing people. It shows how important it is to form and promote culture and social discourses through games and music.

Suitable for this event, games and cultural interactions are also the topic of a current nationwide study. This captures the location of the 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 5 and 25, 2024, can be called up via various channels in the summer of 2025, and you will definitely ensure important discourses on festivals and cultural events.

Experience and enjoy diversity

Especially music festivals 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 impressively show how music and play can contribute to the design of our culture.
