Staatstheater Cottbus Enchants Branitz with Clarinet Quintet Under the Open Sky

Summer Evening in Branitz Park: Brahms and Krommer in the Open Air

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, a special space for fine chamber music will open at the Fürst Pückler Museum Park & Schloss Branitz: The 10th Chamber Concert of the Staatstheater Cottbus places the clarinet at the center of a vibrant open-air evening. The program features the Quartet in D Major by Franz Krommer and the Clarinet Quintet in B Minor by Johannes Brahms, two works that combine elegance, breath, and emotional depth in a direct live atmosphere.

Sound Poetry Between Park Idyl and Historic Setting

The Branitz Park provides the backdrop for a concert experience that thrives on tranquility, spaciousness, and focused audience atmosphere. Here, the clarinet does not act as a soloist in the foreground but as a narrative instrument that engages in a finely tuned dialogue with the strings. Particularly Brahms’ B Minor Quintet unfolds its entire orchestrated inner tension in such an environment: lyrical arcs, chamber music precision, and a sound that appears especially transparent outdoors.

A Program for Attuned Ears

Franz Krommer's D Major Quartet and Brahms’ Clarinet Quintet in B Minor represent two different but ideally complementary perspectives on the genre of chamber music. Krommer brings agility and classicist lightness, while Brahms offers depth, warmth, and that melancholy that sustains great live moments. The Staatstheater Cottbus thus relies on a repertoire that appeals to connoisseurs as well as curious concertgoers seeking a stylistically coherent, demanding concert program.

Branitz as a Stage for Special Concert Moments

The venue at Robinienweg 5 in 03042 Cottbus combines cultural history with scenic elegance. The Branitz Park is considered a spacious facility with barrier-free pathways in many areas; accessible restrooms are located, among others, at the visitor parking lot, in the visitor center, and at the Marstall. However, individual areas and the castle itself remain limited accessible for visitors with mobility restrictions. This gives the evening a mix of accessibility, atmosphere, and historical flair.
