Four open-air concerts at the music pavilion between the theatre and Schloss Jägerhof. The traditional series has been running since 1978 and the name says it all in the 46th year of the format, which is known far beyond the city limits

The selection of bands once again thrives on the exciting variety between contemporary jazz and musical excursions into exciting musical cultures.

    Six musicians are standing side by side on a stage, holding various instruments, including a violin, a frame drum, a zither, a clarinet and other stringed instruments from different cultural traditions. The group smiles at the camera, having just performed what appears to be an international concert with a world music flavour.
    Two middle-aged musicians with grey hair are performing together on stage, one of them playing the piano and the other the tenor saxophone. Both are dressed in dark clothes and are absorbed in their playing, whilst blue stage lighting casts an atmospheric glow over the scene.

    Four musicians, dressed in vintage-style clothing, are standing in front of a yellow wooden door, holding traditional instruments such as violins, a frame drum and a cello. The group looks cheerful and relaxed; two of them are wearing hats, which lends the scene a nostalgic feel.
    A man with light blonde hair is sitting on a concrete kerb by the water, playing a mint-green Fender guitar. He is wearing a light blue shirt and dark trousers, and the turquoise water in the background lends the picture a relaxed, summery atmosphere.
