SCHACKENBORG MUSIKFEST AND KUNST FÜR ANGELN WITTKIELHOF – TWO SUCCSESSFUL EVENTS
THE SCHACKENBORG MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTED CONTEMPORARY ART FROM DENMARK AND GERMANY IN COOPERATION WITH KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V
The first part of the KUNST FÜR ANGELN project ART & MUSIC OVERCOME BOUNDARIES 2023 has
been completed with great appreciation by the public.
3 days of concerts and 1 opera in the park of the castle as part of the SCHACKENBORG Music Festival
are behind us, with a total of 600 visitors including an exhibition from the Roosen-Trinks Collection
with contemporary works of art by Danish and German artists on the castle grounds in Møgeltønder.
The focus was on bringing music and contemporary art to the audience on both sides of the border, to make them accessible and to allow all guests from Denmark and Germany to begin a cross-border dialogue and open exchange on important cultural themes: Art and Music.
A language that everyone understands.

Inhalt
The art exhibition is curated by the musicians of the Danish Clarinet Trio and founders of the Schackenborg Music Festival: Martin Qvist Hansen / Piano, Tommaso Lonquich / Clarinet and Jonathan Slaatto / Cello. Martin Qvist Hansen: “For us as musicians, it is a first to select works of art from a private collection that will be exhibited during our music festival in Mgeltnder. Our selection fell on the works of German and Danish artists who have a direct connection to classical music, such as Jorinde Voigt, Thomas Lunau, Rasmus Bjrn or Jonathan Meese. Either because they were artistically inspired by certain classical music pieces, influenced by certain composers and their work, or because they themselves make music. This combination of showing art where music is made – and that on both sides of the border – is innovative and inspires us in our work. We are already looking forward to the second part of our cooperation with the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V., in October at the Wittkielhof in Schleswig-Holstein and to the continuation in 2024! “
PREMIERE II – WITTKIELHOF
We did it! Great success of our project ART&MUSIC OVERCOME BOUNDARIES and an amazing weekend with KUNST FÜR ANGELN and almost 300 guests from northern Germany and Denmark, celebrating the Danish Clarinet Trio, the Bariton Viktor Rud, the pianist and composer Jürgen Christ and ART LA CARTE, the german-danish JazzEnsemble from Flensburg! Thanks to the support of Interreg Germany-Denmark and the European Union and an enthusiastic audience, we feel motivated to start the planning to continue that project in 2024

Ingrid Roosen-Trinks: “Art and music is a language that everyone understands. Therefore, the association KUNST FÜR ANGELN e.V.is particularly pleased to combine these two art forms. To show art, where music is played, and to experience music, where art is exhibited. Both in Denmark in August and on the German side in October. ART & MUSIC OVERCOME BOUNDARIES offers a new, great opportunity to get to know the diverse cultural life in the German-Danish border region. And from now on EVERY YEAR! “
