Music: Classical History Meets Contemporary Advancement

Home » Germany » Germany Activities and Attractions » Music: Classical History Meets Contemporary Advancement

Germany's classical music heritage is second to none: Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn, Johannes Brahms and Richard Wagner are just a handful of the many great German composers whose music is still celebrated throughout the world. Museums and orchestras throughout Germany continue to pay homage to these important composers.

Germany's musical life is thriving in other respects as well. A wide range of dynamic modern music can be heard at hundreds of jazz clubs, musical theatres and concert events.

Summer in Germany means hundreds of world-famous groups and thousands of fans flocking to open-air rock, pop, techno, hip hop, reggae and jazz festivals. Festivals are the perfect chance to see dozens of performers in concerts that span several days. Some of the most popular festivals are the Love Parade in Berlin, Rock am Ring in Nuremberg, The Ultimate Rave in Hanover and The MTV Hip-Hop Open in Stuttgart. Cologne and Liepzig also hold unique music events
