Anniversary Open-Air Concert—Zwickau Celebrated 20 Years of Summer Swing

June 22

Three days filled with musical highlights, rousing rhythms, and unforgettable moments are now behind us. “Summer Swing at Schumann,” the small swing and jazz open-air event, delighted numerous visitors and turned out to be a special experience for all music lovers.

To mark its 20th anniversary, the event was at its very best, offering a diverse program featuring first-class music, outstanding artists, and a unique atmosphere. For three days, the sounds of swing and jazz filled the area around the Robert Schumann Monument, creating a lively atmosphere and many emotional moments.

The audience responded with enthusiasm: Many guests enjoyed the warm evenings under the open sky, listened to the bands, swayed to the rhythm of the music, and celebrated this extraordinary cultural highlight together right in the heart of the city.

The enthusiastic response and the many positive comments made the 20th edition an all-around success and demonstrated once again just how much this event has grown over the years and how many people it brings together.

 

Special thanks go to the many artists who, with their passion, skill, and enthusiasm, created unforgettable moments. Equally important were the many supporters, partners, and volunteers behind the scenes, without whose dedication such an event would not be possible.

After two decades, it’s clear that “summer swing bei Schumann” is more than just a concert—it’s a piece of Zwickau’s cultural history. The event bridges generations, brings people together, and proves that it doesn’t always have to be the biggest festivals that create the fondest memories.

We look back on three successful days—and are already looking forward to the musical events to come.
