Charity Concert in Duderstadt City Park
The Duderstadt Summer of Culture charity concert is a regular fixture in early summer and is considered the most musically sophisticated format in the series. The venue is the Stadtpark Auf dem Graben, where the open-air stage is positioned so that the natural ambiance of the park optimally enhances the sound of the large orchestra.
Hanover Federal Police Orchestra
In the 2026 season, the renowned Hanover Federal Police Orchestra will perform in Duderstadt. Consisting of around 50 musicians, this symphonic wind orchestra is one of the major professional orchestras in Lower Saxony and performs regularly at home and abroad. Its repertoire ranges from classical symphonic wind music and marches to film themes and arrangements of current pop and rock titles.
Social Commitment
The event continues the tradition of Eichsfeld's benefit culture. Admission fees are traditionally dedicated to local social institutions and initiatives. Thus, the concert combines a listening experience with concrete social benefit and, at the same time, offers broad access to symphonic wind music for an audience that rarely encounters it.
Atmosphere of the City Park
Duderstadt City Park is located between the historic old town and the Westerturm. For the charity concert, a reduced, acoustically optimized stage setup will be created. Seating and standing areas will be available. Families, seniors, and concert enthusiasts from all over southern Lower Saxony are among the regular audience.
