The Burgenklassik series of the Stiftung Villa Musica Rheinland-Pfalz is not limited to the Pentecost date. In the summer, it continues its program at Marksburg Castle with further concerts that expand the musical spectrum.
A special highlight in 2026 is the concert by the Kyiv Tango Orchestra on July 27, 2026, at 5 PM in the Marksburg-Schänke. The orchestra combines Argentine tangos – the life's work of Astor Piazzolla and his successors – with Ukrainian soundscapes, creating its own distinct musical language that transcends genre boundaries.
The Marksburg-Schänke is an intimate concert space with excellent acoustics. The historic hall, nestled within the only never-destroyed hilltop castle in the Middle Rhine Valley, lends a special aura to every concert. Before the concert, the castle can be explored via the ramparts and courtyards; the view of the Rhine and Braubach is part of the concert experience.
Further summer concerts of the Burgenklassik series at Marksburg Castle will be announced via the websites of Villa Musica and Marksburg-Schänke. The concerts regularly sell out quickly.
The Burgenklassik series is one of the most distinguished concert formats in Rhineland-Palatinate, bringing top artists to the region's castles and palaces – with Marksburg Castle being one of the most spectacular venues.
