The Nordischer Klang is a cultural festival for music and art from Northern European countries that takes place in Greifswald every May .
The festival offers artists from the Nordic countries the opportunity to present themselves outside of their home country. The program consists of concerts, exhibitions, readings, lectures, films, theater performances and a children's program from the five Nordic countries as well as from the other countries bordering the Baltic Sea.
The organizer is the Kulturverein Nordischer Klang e. V., which is associated with the Institute for Fen and Scandinavian Studies at the University of Greifswald . Thereby we work closely with the cultural institutions of Greifswald, who contribute with their own program items. Chairman of the Nordic Sound Association V. is Joachim Schiedermair.
