Highlights in the stage programme
Numerous renowned big bands, ensembles and soloists have been recruited for akustika 2025 for over 90 live performances and sophisticated concerts.
You can see and hear all the instrument groups on show in action on five parallel stages. International artists and regional ensembles will be taking part. You can experience a wide range of genres and styles from classical music to modern jazz and big band sounds. Musical highlights include the Sax Royal Walking Act, the exclusive world premiere of the children's concert ‘Tara’ and four reading sessions, including with the Veitshöchheim Army Music Corps and the Bamberg and Lichtenfels district orchestras.
The Centre Stage will present the whole variety of popular music with over ten big bands and additional folk, jazz and Latin combos. The programme will be complemented by performances by solo artists.
The North Bavarian Music Association is responsible for the programme on the stages in the entrance area. This is also where the newly founded brass quintet of the Nuremberg State Philharmonic Orchestra will present its debut ‘Festive Wind Music’ on Friday.
On Friday, 4 April (18:00-19:00), a very special evening concert experience will take place in the NCC OST entrance area:
- Holst, Mars, the bringer of war from The Planets in an arrangement for 10 grand pianos, celesta, brass and timpani
- Liszt, Hexameron for 6 grand pianos (original title: Grandes Variations de Bravoure pour Piano sur la ‘Marche des Puritains’ de Vincenzo Bellini, composées pour le Concert de Madame la Princesse Belgiojoso au Bénéfice des Pauvres par Liszt, Thalberg, Pixis, Herz, Czerny et Chopin - this is a set of variations in which the aforementioned composers participated, but with the main part by Liszt)
- Björk, overture to the film Dancer in the dark in an arrangement for brass and timpani by Henry L. Dorn
In this piece, students from the Nuremberg University of Music perform together with the North Bavarian Youth Wind Orchestra, creating an intergenerational sound experience.
Day visitors are cordially invited to attend.
