Summer concert in Penzlin: Music enjoyment for young and old!

Penzlin, Deutschland - On June 27, 2025, the Penzliner Neue Castle turned back into a sound paradise. The male choir Penzlin 1907 and the Army Music Corps of the Bundeswehr Neubrandenburg cordially invite you to your summer concert. "We want to make music accessible to everyone," says the organizer's motif, who can already look back on a history of the male choir over 115 years. The event begins at 7.30 p.m., and for the anticipation, the preliminary program opens at 6 p.m. with a selection of food and drinks.

But what makes this evening so special? The male choir Penzlin, which was founded in 1907 under the name "Association for the Conservation of the German Folk song", sees its task not only in the care of traditional choral music. "We train our members in vocals to promote the community and prepare joy," emphasizes the choir. With an average of 42 active singers between the ages of 20 and 88 and the sponsorship of the Zelter badge for long-term services, the choir delivers an impressive picture of the community and dedication to music. The repertoire ranges from classic polyphonic works to modern pieces - a real pleasure for various listeners of music.

a colorful program for everyone

The summer concert is complemented by the performances of the Heeresmusikkorps Neubrandenburg, which brings an additional musical splash of color into the program with its wind players. The common program not only includes marches and ballads, but also selected choral works that make the heart of the listeners beat faster. "Music connects - and that is exactly what we will experience that evening," said the organizers. Admission is free, but donations are requested to support the choir work in order to continue to maintain enthusiasm for choral music.

A simple journey is also secured. The new connecting bridge from the city center to the new castle makes it easier to access and parking in the city is sufficiently possible. "In order to find space better, we recommend that you come early," advise those responsible.

The renaissance of choral singing

The current spirit of optimism in choral singing cannot be overlooked - this is also confirmed by current developments in choral music. In Germany, the history of choral singing is closely linked to the founding of the first male choirs in the 19th century. According to the book "Choral singing in Germany" by Hartmut Lutschewitz, the landscape of choral music has changed significantly. In addition to the traditional male choir, the foundation of mixed choirs has gained importance over time. However, the challenges such as aging and the loss of membership, which are particularly increasing in men's singing associations, cannot be ignored.

"We have to rethink our concept and incorporate new musical ideas in order to inspire younger people for choral singing," said many choirs. All of these aspects also flow into the preparations for the summer concert, in which the opportunity is offered to actively experience and enjoy choral music.

Take the opportunity and be there when the male choir Penzlin and the Army Music Corps of the Bundeswehr Neubrandenburg create a musical festival for the community under the motto "Make music together".
