Classics in the Baroque Castle
The SommerMusikAkademie Schloss Hundisburg has been one of the most consistent classical series in northern Saxony-Anhalt since 1993. What began as a masterclass academy for young musicians has grown into a publicly accessible festival over the years. Today, international students and lecturers from the USA, Asia, and all of Europe come to Hundisburg every year to work in the rooms of the baroque castle – and to present their results in public concerts in the evening.
Hundisburg Castle is one of the largest baroque buildings between Magdeburg and the Altmark region, with a sprawling park and an acoustically excellent ballroom. Around 20 concerts are held in various formats during the festival period: large symphony and choir concerts, chamber music evenings, solo recitals, jazzy cross-genre formats, and the popular "Children's Music Festival". Some concerts also take place at venues in Haldensleben itself and in the surrounding villages – the festival consciously sees itself as a bridge between high culture and the region.
Haldensleben is the district town of the Börde district in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, located about 25 kilometers northwest of Magdeburg. The region is characterized by the landscape of the Magdeburg Börde – fertile farmland, small baroque castles, quiet villages. A conscious slowdown in the hectic festival summer.
