The next CLASSICAL BEAT Festival will take place from July 18 to 26, 2025 during the Travemünde Week.The 2025 festival program offers a wide range of cultural and musical experiences, highlighting both traditional and modern aspects of African and European musical traditions. We look forward to welcoming you on this journey!In 2025, we cordially invite you to join the CLASSICAL BEAT Festival on a musical journey to West Africa.Under the theme “On course to Ghana”, two cultural regions will be connected and offer exciting insights into the African music and cultural scene.The choice of Ghana as the theme of the festival underlines the importance of the encounter and connection between European and African musical traditions, which finds its expression particularly in jazz. This connection has significantly shaped the music of the 20th century and remains of central importance for today's music scene. The decision to focus on West Africa, and Ghana in particular, reflects our desire to bring this rich cultural and musical tradition to the stage and provide new creative impetus.
