The Czech Symphony Orchestra Prague, one of the leading orchestras in the Czech Republic, will open the Ebrach Music Summer 2026 with masterpieces by Ludwig van Beethoven and Gioachino Rossini. The overture to “The Italian in Algiers” is a sparkling masterpiece full of wit, rhythmic energy and dramatic surprises – a prime example of Rossini’s brilliant operatic artistry. Beethoven’s violin concerto – famous for its wonderful melodies and balanced form – is one of the most frequently performed works in music history. The internationally acclaimed violin virtuoso Jan Mráček, concertmaster of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, promises an extraordinary listening experience in the magnificent Kaisersaal of Ebrach Monastery – a room whose dimensions correspond to those of Beethoven’s time. The music of the great Viennese classical composer unfolds its full effect here, not only visually but also acoustically. In the second part of the evening, you can expect Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, which was celebrated by none other than Richard Wagner as the “apotheosis of dance”. A sparkling, symphonic-dance prelude to a summer full of music in the heart of Franconia!

Visitor centers are being built at all four project locations, which will provide information about the international Cisterscapes project, the European Heritage Label, the Cistercian monastery landscapes and the four Interreg partners and their cooperation.
The exhibition at the Zwettl visitor center is dedicated to the traces left by the Cistercian monks in the monastery landscape. The focus is also on regional products such as carp, beer and poppy seeds as well as Waldviertel pond farming.
Program:
5.00 pm: Opening ceremony in the passage of the Old Town Hall, speeches with musical accompaniment and agape

Ebracher Musiksommer: Baroque Virtuosos
2026-06-28 15:00 - 17:00 | Kaisersaal, former abbey, Ebrach, Marketplace 1, Ebrach, Choose federal state:, 96157, Germany
Baroque Virtuoso
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D major BWV 1068
Concerto for violin, oboe and orchestra in C minor BWV 1060R
Concerto for two violins and orchestra in D minor BWV 1043
George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
Water Music, Suite II in D major
Orchestra with Gewandhaus musicians Leipzig
Gerd Schaller, conductor
Festive baroque music in the Kaisersaal with works by Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel has always been very popular. When musicians from the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra also perform this concert, the crowds are particularly large. Experience has shown that the Leipzig orchestra’s traditional guest performance as part of the Ebrach Summer of Music sells out quickly – so it’s worth booking your tickets early!
Under the title VIRTUOSES BAROQUE, the program this time features true gems of the Baroque repertoire, with the solo concertos presented promising a very special treat for the ears. Johann Sebastian Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3 offers particularly festive sounds, and the famous Air from it is one of Bach’s best-known works. His concerto for violin and oboe is often regarded as an adaptation of Bach’s earlier harpsichord concerto, with the violin and oboe taking on the role of the harpsichord. In the concerto for two violins, on the other hand, the two soloists enter into an exciting competition. The program is rounded off by the D major suite from Handel’s Water Music, which revives the former splendour of a royal river journey. A musical treat that is guaranteed to delight!
