Classical music under an open sky
Klassik airleben gives the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra the chance to thank their audience at the end of another Gewandhaus season.
The world-famous symphony orchestra plays two open-air "Große Concerte" (big concerts) on two consecutive evenings, to which all Leipzig residents and visitors are invited.
The Rosental Park turns into an open-air concert hall and is a meeting place for families, friends and acquaintances. Thousands of people carrying folding chairs, blankets and picnic baskets flock to the large grassy area in front of the stage.
The atmosphere is singularly captivating. Even non-fans of classical music are enthralled by the music's charm, the summery flair and the relaxed mood. With wine and sandwiches, in shorts and flip-flops, the audience listens to the world-class orchestra's incredible music. It is not unusual for "folding chair friendships" to be forged, and for neighbours to make plans to meet the next year.
Porsche, the Gewandhaus orchestra's close partner, is primarily, but not exclusively responsible for continuing to provide free entry to Klassik airleben, with several other businesses contributing as well.
