Concerts in July & August, Sundays at 5 p.m. at the Neustrelitz City Church
Since the large Grüneberg organ is currently unavailable due to restoration work, this year’s “Organ Summer” will feature a variety of concerts with other instruments. For the concert with the Duo Fidelici, we will occasionally move to the church in Zierke with its small Grüneberg organ, or we will use the small chest organ in the town church.
The organ music and guided tour have been canceled this year and will resume next year.
The concerts always take place on Sundays at 5 p.m. in the Stadtkirche Neustrelitz (except on July 26, when the concert will be held in the church in Zierke!).
Admission is free; donations are requested at the exit.
