Singer-Songwriter Festival, Nuremberg 2009
Friday 31st of July to Sunday 2nd August, 2009
Germany’s biggest free outdoor worldmusic-festival, 2009
Main focus Switzerland
High mountains are no obstacle to music, which is able to travel beyond physical boundaries. The sound of Switzerland arrives in Nuremberg at this year’s Bardentreffen. In 2009, Germany’s biggest free open air worldmusic-festival features music from Switzerland – a country which boasts very special characteristics, such as multilingualism and cultural diversity. All this adds to the attractiveness of the country’s music.
