Overview

The 2025 Open Air by the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra in the Grugapark took place, as is traditional, on the last weekend of June.

2025 Review

The 2025 Open Air by the Essen Philharmonic Orchestra in the Grugapark took place, as is traditional, at the end of June. The concept — a two-hour program of two classical works, presented on the large concert meadow of the Grugapark and hosted for a broad audience — proved successful once again. The admission price remains traditionally low at around €20–€25, making the format an accessible introduction to classical music, even for families.

The Essen Philharmonic Orchestra performed under its regular season conductor and presented a program from the classical-romantic repertoire. The event remained a collaboration with Grugapark Essen and with sponsorship from GEWOBAU Wohnungsgenossenschaft Essen eG.
