Classical without borders: Free Open Air Festival in Frankfurt and Słubice!

The city of Frankfurt (Oder) and its neighboring Polish neighboring town of Słubice are all about classical music this summer. From August 3 to 30, 2025, the open-air festival "Classical Without Borders" will take place there. In the picturesque backdrop of the parks of both cities, eight free concerts for music lovers are offered on a total of five weekends. And that's the beginning!

The festival is organized under the patronage of Brandenburg's Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) and Marcin Jabłoński (Koalicja Obywatelska) and curated by Tomasz Pilarski. The musical palette ranges from works by great composers such as Mozart and Beethoven to exciting crossover projects with jazz and world music. The commitment of a saxophone quartet is particularly impressive. Works by Vivaldi, Rossini and Queen as well as popular film soundtracks will perform.

family -friendly offers and highlights

A highlight of the festival is the hands-on concert for children, which is led by the moderator Malte Arkona. The piano cycle "Images of an exhibition" is listed, which will surely inspire the young audience. The large symphonic final concert, led by Howard Griffiths and with the soloist Maria Machowska, represents the musical highlight of the festival. Not only works by Mieczysław Karłowicz are played here, but also well -known film music from "Indiana Jones" to "The Lion King". The crowning glory is Edward Elgar's "Land of Hope and Glory", supported by the Frankfurt Singakademie.

The organizers of Messe und Veranstaltungs GmbH, headed by Managing Director Sven Tietze, emphasize the cultural importance of this festival. For all visitors there is the opportunity to bring your own picnic ceilings and baskets with you or use the culinary offers on site. The concerts also take place in bad weather conditions, since they may be moved to the St. Marien Church or to the Collegium Polonicum.

Cultural connections create

The open-air festival aims to exceed gene limits and address a wide audience. Visitors can look forward to a diverse program that offers crossover from chamber music and contemporary interpretations. In the tradition of other successful classic open-air events in Germany, which present classical music in extraordinary places, this festival creates a bridge between the countries and cultures.

Additional highlights are professional parking tours in the Anger, Gertrauden, Lienau and Lennépark after the Sunday concerts, which give visitors a deeper insight into the beautiful surroundings. The festival is free and suitable for all music enthusiasts - a truly remarkable contribution to the cultural landscape of the region.

The “Classical without Borders” festival promises an unforgettable experience for music lovers and families. It impressively shows how music can act as a connecting element and invites everyone to enjoy these cultural encounters outdoors. Let yourself be inspired and experience the musical miracles of the coming months!
