About Ambassadors of Music

Every summer, the Ambassadors of Music transform Rothenburg ob der Tauber's historic market square into an open-air concert stage. American student orchestras and choirs, having qualified as the best in their respective states, give free one-hour concerts on their European tour – ranging from popular classics to Hollywood melodies. Afterwards, choir concerts resound in the city's churches. Rothenburg is traditionally the final stop on this musical journey through the medieval setting in the state of Bavaria.
