Nieblum on Föhr
Nieblum is a district of the town of Wyk auf Föhr in the district of Nordfriesland in the state of Schleswig-Holstein. With its thatched Frisian houses, the village is considered one of the most beautiful Frisian villages. St. Johannis Church, dating from the 13th century and known as the "Frisian Cathedral," is one of the oldest and largest island churches on the North Sea. It is regularly used as a concert venue by the folkBALTICA festival.
The folkBALTICA Festival
The folkBALTICA festival has been held annually in May since 2005 and is dedicated to the music of the Nordic and Baltic countries — folk, traditional music, new interpretations, and crossover formats. Venues are spread across Schleswig-Holstein and the Danish region of Sønderjylland: Flensburg, Husum, Schleswig, Tonder, and smaller towns. The concept intertwines cross-border culture at one of Europe's oldest cultural borders.
The Kiming Ensemble
The Kiming Ensemble will open the 2026 festival on May 2 with the island concert in St. Johannis Church Nieblum. The ensemble will also perform its program the following day (May 3, 8 p.m.) in Sct. Clemens Church on Rømø, Denmark — a typical cross-border folkBALTICA format.
