Celebrate Frankfurt's Summer of Music with Villa Kennedy
Enjoy the best seats in the house at the Rheingau Music Festival
May 2001 - Frankfurt am Main, Germany – An international flight hub and much visited business travel destination, these days the city is also fast becoming a worthy tourist destination, rich in charm and offering a myriad of cultural activities.
A highlight of Frankfurt’s cultural calendar is the annual ‘Rheingau Music Festival’, Europe’s largest privately-funded classical music festival and which – over the summer months – will see the city transform into one big stage, with over 153 performances ranging from chamber orchestra’s performing classical music in some of the city’s most historic buildings to jazz bands playing in the streets and cabaret being performed in hidden wine bars.

Arriving in style by limousine, guests will be able to tour the wine cellars of Johannisberg Castle and take part in a wine tasting before enjoying a recital by world renowned pianist Mitsuko Uchida. At Kurhaus Wiesbaden, guests can take in the stunning ballrooms of this historic property, before sitting down to a concert by the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra while a pre-performance tour of the Eberbach Monastery is available to those heading to the venue for an evening dedicated to Mozart.
