The Rheingau Music Festival's summer festival promises to be one of the highlights of the season again this year. In the magnificent ambience of Schloss Johannisberg, the festival's triad of music, conviviality, and a unique location in the Rheingau will be particularly well-experienced this evening. In the main concert, the artists will sing, present, and play their way through the music of the 80s with hits by Prince, The Police, and Elton John. Before and after the concert, we invite you to dance in front of the various stages in the castle courtyards, enjoy wine from one of the oldest and most renowned wineries in the Rheingau, and indulge in a variety of culinary offerings. As every year, the highlight of this dazzling summer night is the colorful fireworks display over the castle.

Sitting still becomes difficult, remaining emotionally untouched and not being carried away becomes virtually impossible. Because wherever Uwaga! performs, the quartet captivates the audience within seconds with its ecstatic joy of playing. In their new program, the "classical innovators from the Ruhr area", as the WAZ called them, together with the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Rasmus Baumann, cover a wide range of music history. From the Renaissance to the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods and then on to jazz and rock'n'roll, the amazed audience is catapulted to the latest pop hits. Mozart, Haydn, Wagner & Co., Stevie Wonder, the Beatles and Metallica are united under the aegis of Uwaga!. With a unique mixture of humor, passion, audacity and virtuosity, the ensemble makes everything its own, deconstructing the styles, reassembling them and thus ensuring ever-surprising excursions into the various eras. Climb into the time machine for a wild ride through the music from the past to the present!
