Festspiele MV — Concerts Parchim

Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern — One of Northeast Germany's Most Important Classical Festivals

The Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has existed since 1990 and is considered one of Northern Germany's most significant classical and chamber music festivals. Between mid-June and mid-September, over 100 concerts take place in around 90 venues — from castles and manor houses to barns and churches — spread across the entire state. Artistic Director: Ursula Haselböck (since 2020). Parchim's St. George's Church is a permanent fixture in the festival's venues.

St. George's Church Parchim — Gothic Parish Church in the Heart of the Old Town

St. George's Church is a late Gothic brick church from the 14th century and one of Mecklenburg's most important sacral buildings. With its striking west tower facade, it shapes Parchim's cityscape. Inside, the high chancel, the late Gothic star vault, and the historic organ gallery offer exceptional acoustics and atmosphere for chamber music and vocal concerts.
