CONCERT IN KONIGSWINTER
11/August/2024 12:32
MUSIC FOR THE ROYAL FIREWORKS on the market square in Königswinter!
Volker Hartung and the Junge Philharmonie Köln welcome their Königswinter audience.
With their concert to mark the 50th anniversary of the town twinning between Königswinter and Cleethorpes, Maestro Hartung and his orchestra undertake a sound journey to baroque London and romantic England!
Thus inspired, the programme begins on 25 August 2024 with Georg Friedrich Handel's "Music for the Royal Fireworks Suite", the famous FIREWORKS MUSIC written by the German composer, who was in English royal service, on the occasion of the peace celebration at the end of the War of the Austrian Succession and the signing of the Treaty of Aachen in 1748.
This is followed by Henry Purcell's wonderful music to William Shakespeare's comedy "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Edward Elgar's romantic Serenade for string orchestra.
Moderator and conductor is Volker Hartung.
At the end of the concert, the young virtuosos of the orchestra will of course once again ignite a festive firework of virtuoso encores and turn their gaze beyond Königswinter, London, to Cleethorpes.
We promise you an unforgettable experience!
Sunday, August 25, 2024, 11 a.m. on the market square in KÖNIGSWINTER.

For 50 years now, the German town of Königswinter and the English seaside resort of Cleethorpes have been twinned.
This partnership, which was established in 1974 with the signing of a proclamation in Königswinter and the following year in Cleethorpes, is celebrating an
important anniversary this year.
On 25 August, the Cologne New Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Volker Hartung, will perform an English programme with works by Georg Friedrich Handel, Henry Purcell and Edward Elgar and others, in honour of the town twinning with Cleethorpes.
We look forward to seeing you!
