Schwerin celebrates summer festival: Classic meets rousing dance!

On July 5, 2025, a very special summer festival was celebrated in the Brunnenhof of the Schweriner Höfe under the motto "Classical meets dance". Over a hundred guests, family members and music lovers enjoyed a varied program, which was designed by the youth choir, a dance group and the orchestra of the Goethe Gymnasium Schwerin. The center manager Doreen Hopp underlined the importance of the Brunnenhof as a place of cultural diversity and joie de vivre in Schwerin, such as uckermarkurier.de reported.

The Mayor Sebastian Ehlers, a former graduate of the Goethe Gymnasium, did not miss the opportunity to hand over a check to the school over 500 euros. In his praise for the musical ensembles, it is clearly expressed how important it is to promote youth and cultural education. Supported by the music coordinator Clarissa Schelhaas, who presented the various ensembles such as the symphonic orchestra and the youth choir, around 150 students took part in the colorful program, which caused a lot of applause.

A look into the future of music

But that's not all that the Goethe Gymnasium offers the music lovers. On December 16, 2025, two concerts by the youth choir and the youth information orchestra are planned in the in -house auditorium. With a diverse repertoire, including the ceremonial fair Breve No. 7 by Charles Gounod and the rousing "Salsa Bells" by Benedikt Brydern, visitors can look forward to a sound experience that combines tradition and modernity. Donations are welcome at these concerts, because admission is free, such as Schwerin.de mentioned.

The youth choir, now over 60 years old, has a remarkable story that goes back to the time of the GDR. Under the direction of Bernd Spitzbarth, the choir was able to receive numerous invitations to music festivals and has demonstrated its excellent reputation since reunification.

cultural diversity with a strong team

The challenges of the next few months are also imminent, for example at the Federal Youth Choir, who is planning a moving concert on August 27, 2025 entitled "Departure in Freedom". Under the artistic direction of Anne Kohler, a program is presented that deals with oppression, exclusion and hope of freedom, as bundesjugendchor.de.

summarized, the culture in Schwerin shows that the passion for music extends far beyond the stage and shines through the joint effort of everyone involved. So stay tuned, because there is still a lot going on here! There are definitely perfect prerequisites for a flourishing music culture.
