Havellandic Music Festival — Chamber Music in the Havelland
The Havellandic Music Festival was founded around the turn of the millennium and has since been the defining classical music festival of the Havelland. Unlike many festivals, it does not run in a concentrated summer block, but as a year-round program from March to December with over 20 concerts per season at changing historical venues between Nauen, Kloster Lehnin, Bad Belzig, and Brandenburg an der Havel. The organizer is Havelländische Musikfestspiele gGmbH, a non-profit organization.
26th Edition 2026
The 26th edition in 2026 starts on March 8th at Schloss Reckahn — with Beethoven violin sonatas performed by Edita Randová and Augustin Kužela, 4 PM. This continues the usual season opening at Schloss Reckahn, which is one of the festival's established hallmarks.
Focus on Brandenburg an der Havel and Surroundings
While Schloss Ribbeck (Nauen) is the headquarters and namesake venue, Brandenburg an der Havel and its surroundings are firm pillars of the program — spread throughout the season:
- Schloss Reckahn (part of Kloster Lehnin, 14776, Potsdam-Mittelmark district): Season opening March 8th with Beethoven violin sonatas.
- Klein Kreutz (part of Brandenburg an der Havel): Recurring venue for chamber music and special children's concerts.
- Brandenburg City Center: Concerts in churches and historical halls spread throughout the season.
Program Profiles
The Music Festival combines several profiles:
- Classical and Chamber Music: String quartets, piano trios, solo recitals.
- Jazz and Swing Open-Air: Including the „Berliner Luft“ Gala with a salon orchestra on June 13th, 2026 (Schloss Ribbeck, Nennhausen).
- Horn Quartet Picnic Concerts: Summer format in the Nennhausen Palace Park on June 21st, 2026.
- Children's Concerts: Low-threshold access for families.
- Beethoven Focus: Annual Beethoven cycle, continued in 2026 with violin sonatas on March 8th and June 6th.
Edita Randová and Augustin Kužela
The opening concert in 2026 will be performed by two Czech soloists. Violinist Edita Randová and pianist Augustin Kužela bring the Beethoven violin sonatas to the Schlosskonzert tradition of Schloss Reckahn — one of the most important neoclassical palace complexes in the region. Tickets from €20.
Schloss Reckahn as a Venue
Schloss Reckahn is located in the Reckahn district of the municipality of Kloster Lehnin (Potsdam-Mittelmark district), about 15 km southwest of Brandenburg an der Havel. The neoclassical complex from the 18th century also serves as a venue and cultural center as the Reckahn Experience Museum. The acoustically high-quality halls have been part of the Music Festival's repertoire for years.
