Music Salon // Special Feature of “Mannheimer Sommer”: A Concert Trail in the Upper Luisenpark
An extremely popular tradition is taking place this time at a new, special location: the Upper Luisenpark! Ever since the park was laid out in the 19th century, this green heart of the city has captivated visitors. Enchanting paths and groves of trees, open meadows, and the waters of the Kutzerweiher bear witness to the ever-evolving art of gardening, which reached its peak with the legendary Federal Garden Shows of 1975 and 2023, which helped the park gain national recognition. On the last Sunday in June, to mark the conclusion of the “Mannheimer Sommer” festival, the park transforms into a musical journey. Chamber ensembles, vocal quartets, and bands from the National Theater Orchestra, along with guest performers, take the stage at selected locations among flower beds, pavilions, and the Chinese tea house. A stroll through the sprawling grounds thus becomes a mini-journey through eras and styles—from the Mannheim School to contemporary band music. And once the last note has faded away, the experience continues seamlessly: Following the concert, a performance of *The Magic Flute* at the OPAL awaits—a magical conclusion to a summer day filled with music, history, and nature. Featuring: Baroque Masters: Sonatas and Fantasies | Arco vocale: European a cappella vocal music | Beethoven Songs: for voice, violin, and accordion | NTM Children’s Choir | Dance performance with members of the Movement Choir | Open sing-along with the Alphabet Choir | Parada Nautica: Musical oddities set sail | Fire & Water: Violinist Mark Johnston in the Cactus House | Something’s in the Bush: Soundscapes by students of the Mannheim University of Music
