The Usedom Music Festival - A Podium of the Baltic Sea.

The sound of the Baltic Sea has been heard since 1994 on the island of Usedom. Every year in the late summer, the Usedom Music Festival devotes itself to the cultural region around the Baltic Sea. Thus, it has presented the musical life of Russia, Poland, the Baltic States, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Soloists such as Mstislav Rostropovich, Gidon Kremer, Olli Mustonen, Nina Stemme, Bo Skovhus as well as Jan Garbarek and the Esbjörn Svensson Trio enthralled their audiences. The Peenemünde Concerts, frequently featuring the NDR Symphony Orchestra, are among the highlights of the almost 40 events presented by the Festival each year.

From September 24 to October 15, 2011, the musical and cultural life of Lithuania will be the focus of the Festival.
