Classic Open Air on Gendarmenmarkt

July 7 - 11, 2027

Guests watch the start of the Classic Open Air concert series at Gendarmenmarkt.

For a few days every summer, Gendarmenmarkt in the heart of Berlin is transformed into a concert stage for the finest classical music concerts.

On five evenings in July, popular classical and modern melodies are performed at the Classic Open Air under the starry sky, set against the magnificent neoclassical architecture of the Konzerthaus, the French Cathedral and the German Cathedral. The events are accompanied by light and fire displays.

About the Classic Open-Air concert at Gendarmenmarkt

The classical music concerts aim to appeal to a broad audience. The festival's artistic range extends from so-called "star" concerts to "concept" concerts and so-called crossover concerts, in which pop, rock or jazz music is always fused with the classical ensemble. That is why the festival's title uses "Classic" instead of "Klassik" to highlight this breadth.
