Music and light at the Hollersee
Music and light on the Hollersee is a free-and-outside - open-air concert that has been held annually on a Sunday from early to mid-September at the Hollersee in Bremen's Bürgerpark since 1989 and has since become known far beyond the borders of the Hanseatic city .
The youth symphony orchestra of the Bremen Music School plays on a stage on the south bank of the lake, while more than 25,000 spectators regularly sit on the lawns and picnic on blankets or folding chairs they have brought with them . The atmosphere is reminiscent of the London “Proms in the Park” , especially when visitors light torches at an advanced hour and the Hollersee is bathed in a sea of lights. The torches are sold on the access roads, with half of the proceeds going to the orchestra and the other half to the playgrounds in the park.
As a fixed item on the program, Georg Friedrich Handel's fireworks music is played to a fireworks display . Further constants are Johann Strauss' Kaiser-Walzer , Shostakowitsch's Waltz No. 2 and the interpretation of famous film music . It is not uncommon for an opera singer from Theater Bremen to appear as a soloist. Traditionally, the song ends with the song The moon has risen .
