Choriner Musiksommer

It originated as a single annual concert, established on 23 May 1964 by Albert Richter as an event for employees of the Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung (Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development) in Eberswalde.

The forest administration then managed the monastery ruins.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 the festival's organisation was transferred to an independent organisation (Choriner Musiksommer e.V.).

It now consists of nineteen concerts per season (June - August) of 17th to 19th-century music, rarely-heard pieces and choral music.

Choriner Musiksommer is a registered brand (certificate 304 50 535 / Deutsches Patent- und Markenamt).
