Duderstadt Cultural Summer – Crossover Concert

Genre-Bending in the City Park

The Crossover Concert is a rather rare program item in the Duderstadt Cultural Summer. The event in the city park brings together different musical worlds, consciously breaking down the genre-typical separation of classical, pop, and world music. The venue is the open-air stage in the Stadtpark Auf dem Graben.

Electric Lights and Latin Passion

Under this programmatic title, the concert combines 70s hits in contemporary arrangements with Latin American works – from Bossa Nova and Salsa to Mexican and Brazilian classics. This combination opens the program to lovers of pop and Schlager music as well as fans of Latin sounds.

Concept and Performance

The concert is conceived as a joint project of several ensembles. Symphonic winds, strings, rhythm sections, soloists, and choir parts come together in a flexible stage architecture. The arrangements combine the rhythmic energy of Latin American music with the catchy melodies of 70s pop.

Regional Roots

With the Crossover Concert, the Duderstadt Cultural Summer positions itself as a curatorially ambitious series that also enables musically experimental formats beyond the usual Schlager and pop programs. The audience primarily comes from the Eichsfeld, South Lower Saxony, and North Hesse regions.
