This year's 31st SommerMusikAkademie has come to an end with great success. We can look back on a master class with six young cellists under the guidance of Friedrich Thiele, an intensive work phase for the International Academy Orchestra, selected from 26 nations, as well as 13 high-quality and varied concerts with an outstanding audience response. Here you can find some impressions of the highlights of the past SMA.
At the same time, festival founder Rolf-Dieter Arens finally handed over the baton to the now sole artistic director Friedrich Praetorius and we are looking forward to an exciting development of the festival towards next year!
