The renowned Moritzburg Festival for Chamber Music has set a new attendance record with around 7,300 visitors at its 33rd edition. The 20 concerts were 97 percent full, the organizers announced at the finale at the weekend. The weather also played along: All of the performances planned in the open air were able to take place.
The finale was once again "full steam ahead". The Moritzburg Festival Academy with 36 musicians from 20 countries formed an orchestra and gave a concert in the Dresden Kulturpalast, which was entitled "Landpartie". Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's "Hebrides" Overture, Antonio Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" and Ludwig van Beethoven's 6th Symphony are all about pure nature.
