From lake to clover
On the last weekend in August, a festival will take place around Lake Egelsee in Bern for the first time. It brings music from the concert hall directly to the audience in the neighborhood.
The festival is organized by the Berner Seefestspiele association under the artistic direction of Olivier Darbellay. It takes place in Bern's Obstberg-Ostring-Zentrum Paul Klee district around Lake Egelsee and brings music from classical to jazz to world music in chamber music formations to everyday and unusual places. According to a press release, the Bern Lake Festival aims to be low-threshold and sustainable by bringing the music directly to the audience. Instead of musicians who have traveled far and wide, internationally renowned musicians and young talents who live in Bern and the surrounding area will perform. The venues can be reached by public transport, bike or on foot and are "set up, played and dismantled like ephemeral pop-ups."
