The 32nd SommerMusikAkademie Schloss Hundisburg came to an end with a furious closing gala. Together with various guests, the International Academy Orchestra celebrated the iconic castle barn one last time, which will probably not be available as a festival venue next year due to renovation work. With 17 events and over 2,700 visitors, we can look back on the biggest festival edition ever. Numerous new formats and, of course, the long-standing favourites delighted the audience in equal measure. A review of the SMA 2024 can be found in the Impressions.
