Dear music lovers!

It's Whitsun again: the Cappenberg Castle Music Days are back with two concerts on June 7 and 8, 2025! 

Twelve internationally renowned musicians will be guests at Cappenberg Castle and present well-known and newly discovered masterpieces of the chamber music repertoire in a very special atmosphere. This year's program spans from the Baroque period to the middle of the 20th century with works by Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, Antonín Dvořák and Franz Liszt through to Darius Milhaud and György Kurtág.

Concert introductions and encounters with the artists round off the program.  As a special feature, there will be a concert on June 8, in which the historic organ by the Westphalian organ builder Caspar Melchior Vorenweg from 1788 will also be played during the first concert half in the St. Johannes Evangelist collegiate church. The outstanding English clarinettist Julian Bliss, the Hungarian Jenö Lizstes - an exceptional virtuoso of the cymbalom, which is particularly at home in Central and Eastern Europe - and the Italian master cellist Paolo Bonomini will be guests at the Cappenberg Music Days for the first time this year. Natalie Clein (cello), Mirijam Contzen and Giovanni Guzzo (violin), Gülru Ensari, Herbert Schuch and Tobias Bredohl (piano, organ) as well as Ulrich Eichenauer (viola), a companion from the very beginning, will be performing again.

We look forward to a musical reunion!
