CLASSICAL BEAT FESTIVAL
The sixth CLASSICAL BEAT Festival presents between July 21 and 30 crossover of the extra class with international artist:inside. Under the motto "Cast off to Latin America", the diversity of Latin American music will be combined with European classical music.
The theme is based on the Passat - a four-masted steel barque that used to sail to South America for trade - which is moored in Travemünde, and builds a bridge between the two continents.
The opening of this year's festival will be performed by the musician, music producer, songwriter and two-time Oscar winner for the best film music, Gustavo Santaolalla, from Argentina. With his program "Desandando El Camino" the Argentinean will inspire the audience.
The Argentinean is considered a pioneer in the fusion of rock and Latin American folk. For this purpose he uses traditional instruments like the "Charango" or the "Ronroco" without conforming to a common cliché of South America.
