In the originally medieval Elmshorn, situated about 30 km north of Hamburg, the Alte Reithalle (riding arena) of the Holsteiner Association on Wesernstrasse invites its space for the concerts of the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival. The historically preserved arena will be transformed specially for the festival into a delightful venue, offering enough room for more than 1000 guests. The Reithalle is particularly praised for its great acoustics.
