Schloss Malberg Concert – Benefit Picnic ALittleBitSwing

The Benefit Picnic Concert with ALittleBitSwing at Schloss Malberg is an event format that combines musical joie de vivre with summer evening romance. Picnic instead of concert hall, castle courtyard instead of stage, Gypsy Swing instead of chamber music – the concept deliberately sets itself apart from classical concert formats.

ALittleBitSwing – Gypsy Swing

ALittleBitSwing is an ensemble dedicated to the Gypsy Swing of the 1930s. At its heart is the legacy of Django Reinhardt, the legendary Belgian-French guitarist who made Jazz Manouche the European answer to American Swing. With virtuosic guitar work, swinging violin lines, and captivating rhythm, the ensemble presents genre classics and its own arrangements.

Picnic Format

Unlike classical concerts, guests do not sit in rows of chairs but bring their own picnic blanket and picnic basket. The atmosphere is relaxed and convivial: families, couples, and groups of friends spread out in the castle courtyard, enjoy their food, and let themselves be captivated by the music. This format has found a loyal audience at Schloss Malberg in recent years.

Schloss Malberg in Early Summer

The Malberg Castle courtyard in June is a special place: blooming plants, warm summer air, the historic building as an atmospheric backdrop. The baroque castle from the 18th century is operated as a cultural venue by Schloss Malberg gGmbH.

Benefit Character

The proceeds from the concert go towards the preservation and cultural use of the castle. Thus, every admission ticket is also a contribution to the preservation of this historical cultural heritage in the Vulkaneifel. The moderate admission price of 12 Euros also makes the visit affordable for a broad audience.

Invitation to the Region

The concert is aimed at families, music lovers, picnic fans, and anyone looking for a special summer evening in the Eifel. The combination of historic architecture, captivating music, and culinary picnic experience also makes it an attractive excursion destination for guests from the Trier region and the entire Vulkaneifel.
