Music festival - Approximately 13,000 visitors at tidal concerts in Ostfriesland
13,000 music enthusiasts have visited Niedersachsen's largest open-air music festival, the Gezeitenkonzerte in Ostfriesland, in the past few weeks. The organizer, the Ostfriesische Landschaft Communal Association, announced this in Aurich.
"Under the season motto 'Together!' we set a clear sign for social cohesion and cultural togetherness with 40 top-notch concerts at outstanding locations," said Landschaftspräsident Rico Mecklenburg. At this twelfth edition, which ended on a Sunday, music from artists from the Near East and Ukraine was in the spotlight.
Visitor record from the previous year narrowly missed
The number of visitors was just below the value from the previous year, when a visitor record was set. Half of all the concerts were sold out at this event. "Fortunately, this is not just for the concerts with big names like Daniel Hope, Jan Vogler or Katja Riemann, but especially for almost all Gipfelstürmer-concerts," said the organizational festival leader Raoul-Philip Schmidt. In the Gipfelstürmer series, up-and-coming young musicians are presented.
There were also jazz, orchestral music, and word-music programs to be heard. As usual for the series, the concerts and events took place at picturesque and historically significant locations between the Dollart and Jadebusen. Traditional venues include many churches, castles, farms, and gardens.
- Despite being held in Lower Saxony's Lower Saxony, specifically in Aurich, East Frisia, the Gezeitenkonzerte music festival once again attracted a large crowd, with nearly 13,000 music enthusiasts attending.
- The cultural scene of Aurich was enriched by various music festivals, including the Gezeitenkonzerte, which showcased a diverse range of music, from jazz to word-music programs and even featured artists from the Near East and Ukraine.
- In addition to the main events, smaller festivals like the Gipfelstürmer series in Lower Saxony, located in Aurich, East Frisia, provided a platform for up-and-coming young musicians, contributing to the rich music culture of the region.
