Following positive energy, great feedback from the audience, and enthusiastic cooperation from local partners over the previous three years Bonn is proud to introduce once again it’s Music Diversity Festival ‘Over The Border’ in 2019.
From 22nd March to 7th April Bonn will be introducing the best of international music, without prejudice or borders. “Over the Border” reflects for many citizens of Bonn a facet of the City that makes it a very special place to live – home to many departments of the United Nations, as well as many other International organizations.
Commitment to integration, understanding between nations and religions and combating racism are more relevant than ever. The realization and the understanding that many people grow up with two cultures and are allowed to carry both in their hearts on an equal footing reflects the values of both City and Festival.
violin virtuoso Ara Malikian (29 March) is just one of the many top international artists in this year’s Festival.
