Music Under the Open Sky

The program focuses on melodies with high recognition value and fine orchestral sound. The repertoire includes, among others, MacArthur Park, known from Donna Summer, Yesterday by the Beatles, and Fly Me to the Moon in the famous Sinatra version. This mix is what makes it appealing: familiar themes, newly illuminated by the precise conducting of an ensemble that has showcased musical presence in Ansbach for decades.

A Place That Carries Music

The city moat at Jahnstraße 14 is one of the most atmospheric addresses in the city. The location in the middle of the old town, nestled in greenery and historic architecture, creates ideal conditions for an open-air concert with a relaxed audience atmosphere. Those who arrive early should bring a blanket and picnic basket to enjoy the concert where summer and sound blend best. Café Konditorei Khatun will provide food and drinks on site.

A Band with Character

The City and Youth Brass Band of Ansbach is deeply rooted in the cultural life of the city. City reports and concert reviews refer to the long leadership of Ernst Berendes since 1986, the cultural award of the city of Ansbach for his musical engagement, and the high level of the orchestra, which consistently impresses at traditional concerts. This continuity also shapes the picnic concert: Here, not just any band plays, but a well-established musical body with its own history.
