Find concerts from June 22nd, 2013

Potsdam’s Telegraph Mountain has a long tradition of world-class scientific research. Built in 1899, the Great Refractor was the main instrument of the first observatory for astrophysics. The venue for today’s concert is an impressive memorial from the early years of this science that looks for the physics "behind" the radiation of the stars. While a renowned astrophysicist takes you on an exciting excursion into the history of science, young explorers aged 8 and above can watch the experiments in the foyer and join in. Afterwards a walk through the science park takes you past its historical buildings and to the day’s musical highlight: the ROMEO & JULIA KÖREN is definitely not a choir like any other and its imaginative theatrical performances have already delighted many Nobel prize winners at their festive banquet in Stockholm.

Tickets € 25,- / JFT* / 8,- (children up to 14) *JFT = YOUNG FESTIVAL TICKET: 10 € standard charge for young people aged up to 25 (limited availability)
