Following the highly successful and socially unifying theme of ‘Harmonies of Faith’ in 2025, the 35th anniversary season will once again focus on a completely different and exciting theme, the close interplay of music and movement, with ‘Let’s Dance’ from 31 July to 9 August 2026.

The 35th International Freden Music Days will therefore be all about dance in its many different forms: from classical waltzes to powerful African rhythms and workshops for children, young people and adults, from passionate tango to creative ballet scenes – the stages of the six venues in four locations in the Leinebergland region offer the space to provide fascinating concert experiences with music and dance in ten concerts.

From 1 to 31 December 2025, we will be opening four concert highlights in the Zehntscheune for early online Christmas ticket sales with an ‘early bird’ discount. From festive (Salaputia Brass Quintet) to funny (Apollo’s Cabinet) and witty (delian quartet) to emotional sound experiences (camerata freden), there should be something for everyone.

We look forward to seeing you next summer!
