Mittelrhein Musik Festival — Concert Abbey Rommersdorf (RheinVokal)

RheinVokal at Rommersdorf Abbey

RheinVokal is the vocal music series of the Mittelrhein Musik Festival, bringing vocal ensembles from all over the world to churches and abbeys between Bonn and Bingen every summer. Rommersdorf Abbey, a monastery ensemble over 900 years old in the Heimbach-Weis district of Neuwied, is one of the series' most impressive venues. The concert on July 5, 2026, is part of the RheinVokal season from June 14 to August 30, 2026.

The Curious Bards — Nordic Sounds

The ensemble The Curious Bards specializes in rediscovering the traditional music of the British and Irish Isles. With Nordic Sounds, the ensemble turns to Northern European soundscapes, offering a program that combines old folk melodies, Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian traditions, and Baroque spheres. The combination of original instruments, lively performance style, and remote repertoire makes The Curious Bards one of the most exciting ensembles on today's early music scene.

Concert venue of extraordinary impact

Rommersdorf Abbey offers a concert venue whose acoustic character and visual impact differ significantly from conventional concert halls. The ancient walls, the subdued lighting, and the spiritual aura of the former Premonstratensian monastery provide an ideal setting for a program that combines folk melodies and sacred overtones.

Embedded in the RheinVokal season

The 2026 RheinVokal season spans eleven weeks from June 14 to August 30, offering numerous concerts between Bonn and Bingen. The date at Rommersdorf is one of the highlights in the Neuwied municipal area and complements the cultural offerings around the abbey.
