Bergische Symphoniker Open-Air Stadtpark Remscheid

Summer Concert in the Concert Shell

The Bergische Symphoniker — the joint orchestra of the cities of Remscheid and Solingen — maintain a lovely tradition: In summer, they not only perform in the theatre but also move concerts to green spaces. On Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM, they will come to the Konzertmuschel in Stadtpark Remscheid on Johann-Peter-Arns-Weg, a historic open-air pavilion with excellent acoustics under the open sky.

Program and Conductor

Under the musical direction of Samira Nasser, the orchestra will play an accessible summer program of symphonic sounds and popular melodies — classical overtures, film music classics, waltzes, and shorter orchestral pieces that will engage even novice listeners. The concept is explicitly low-threshold and free of charge, aiming to bring classical music outdoors and to a wider audience.

A Concert Dependent on the Weather

Like any open-air concert in our latitudes, this one is also weather-dependent. In case of heavy rain or thunderstorms, the concert may be cancelled at short notice — the orchestra will make an official weather decision on the day of the concert. Current information at bergischesymphoniker.de.

Part of Remscheider Sommer 2026

The open-air concert is part of the "Remscheider Sommer 2026" series — a bouquet of free open-air events in the Stadtpark and other locations in the city, combining concerts, theatre, family activities, and open-air culture.

Remscheid in the Bergisches Land

Remscheid, with just under 110,000 inhabitants, is located in the Bergisches Land, east of Cologne and Düsseldorf, in a hilly, densely wooded landscape. The city is known as a "tool city" — the tool and cutlery industry has shaped its economic history (keyword: Solingen blades, Remscheid tools). The Stadtpark is a green oasis in the city center and a popular summer meeting place. With its concert shell, it boasts a historic open-air stage that regularly hosts concerts of all genres.
