Moving moments
The Sound of Baden-Baden. Johannes Brahms, Anastacia and the Berlin Philharmonic – Baden-Baden’s music scene hits a lot of different notes. The SWR3 New Pop Festival brings the city to a boil every year, Brahms lived and composed many of his famous works here and the world’s top orchestras pass through in a non-stop stream and time in the Festival Hall. Just how extraordinary it is to stroll through Baden-Baden on a balmy evening, still feeling intoxicated by the music you’ve just heard... that’s something you’ll have to discover for yourself.
