Hitzacker Summer Music Festival |
FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Every year since 1946 Hitzacker has been forging links between innovation and tradition, between youngsters and their paragons, between centuries gone by and our fleeting present. Newly crowned quartets join in concert, soloists form new ensembles. Slam poetry meets chamber music, Aribert Reimann meets Schubert. The festival opens and closes with dazzling musical jewels from the crown of the 90-year-old Gyorgy Kurtag.
