In 2016 the music event Grabern welcoming almost 3000 guests, showing 74 performances in 15 locations took place in the market town Grabern. With a choice of 15 different music genres there was something for everybody. 256 musicians were able to show their talent and could increase the region’s publicity. The presenters provided the audience with a lot of information about the different genres of music.
Due to positive feedback the market town Grabern and the musical society Grabern decided to host the educational music festival Grabern this year. This year’s event focuses on the educational aspect (i.e. gaining knowledge about the different styles of music, workshops and trying out musical instruments).
