Festspiele MV – Concerts in Stralsund

The Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Since 1990, the Festspiele Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has been one of Germany's major classical music festivals. Every summer, a dense program of well over a hundred concerts rings out at around ninety venues throughout the state – in barns, castles, churches, and museums. The Hanseatic city of Stralsund is also a permanent fixture of this musical tour.

Concerts in Special Locations

In Stralsund, the festival focuses on unusual venues that provide a unique setting for the music:

• the STiC-er Theater as a stage for family concerts
• the Deutsches Meeresmuseum (German Oceanographic Museum) with jazz in modern museum architecture

This combination of music and location is a hallmark of the festival: attending a concert also means experiencing a piece of the city's and cultural history.

From Family Concerts to Jazz

The Stralsund festival program appeals to a broad audience. Family concerts with a theatrical flair engage young listeners, while jazz concerts with up-and-coming ensembles showcase the festival's stylistic diversity.

Stralsund in the Festival Summer

The UNESCO World Heritage Hanseatic city of Stralsund, located in the Vorpommern-Rügen district, is the gateway to the island of Rügen and an attractive destination during the festival summer. The concerts of the Festspiele MV invite you to experience classical music and jazz in inspiring locations on the Baltic coast.
