Music and Light




As every year, we visited one of the nicest events in Bremen: Music and Light at Hollersee. Classical music in the dark, outside on a stage in Bremens most beautiful park near the lake "Hollersee". We have been there maybe 10 times already and this sunday we have again been fascinated by the atmoshere and the very well performed music.
This time there have been about 20.000 (!!!) people enjoying this event.

The official information:
The biggest musical event in Bremen's Bürgerpark is the concert "Music and Light at Hollersee". The Bremen School of Music plays classical pieces and well-known modern works conducted by Heiner Buhlmann on the stage in front of Hollersee. On this occasion Hollersee (a pond) is illuminated while young and old listen to the music with torches in their hands and enjoy the mood and fireworks during the concert. This event is sponsored by all those involved and is additionally funded by renowned Bremen companies. The proceeds from the sale of torches also go as a donation directly to the Bürgerpark's coffers. Not to forget the Play Activity Programme, whose organizers and staff take part in selling torches at the event as volunteers.
