The Profile
The Idea
In 1993 a passion for music came together with the pioneering spirit and strong will of the founders to culturally revitalize a region. Many things have changed since then, but the main concept of the SummerMusicAcademy Castle Hundisburg remains. Every year the castle and its surroundings reverberate to the sound of music. → read more

The Artistic Direction
The SummerMusicAcademy was founded with the idea of creating something new and ground-breaking in a more or less bleak region. This pioneering spirit can still be felt today, especially through both the founder and Artistic Director Rolf-Dieter Arens and the conductor of the Academy orchestra Johannes Klump. At the beginning of the 2013 season he will join Rolf-Dieter Arens as Artistic Director, and together they will form an equal partnership to head the SummerMusicAcademy. → read more
