The Sorbian National Ensemble (SNE) is presenting the upcoming season under the motto "New Territories" and wants to turn its stage into a place of artistic diversity and encounters. "In the productions, the ballet, choir and orchestra tell of the richness of Sorbian culture and tradition and embark on a journey on which genres and cultures merge and new horizons become visible," the stage announced.
To kick off the season, "Romanian Nights" on 22 and 23 August at the Schmochtitz Music Festival will present the cultural richness of the Balkan country. This Saturday, the SNE choir and orchestra will join forces with the Queen tribute band MerQury to commemorate the rock musician Freddie Mercury. On 30 August, the rock poet Gerhard "Gundi" Gundermann, who would have turned 70 this year, will be honored in this way.
