25 Years KAP: An Anniversary Parade that Drenches Potsdam in Sound

In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the Kammerakademie Potsdam invites you to a musical anniversary parade through the city center. On August 26, 2026, the experience begins at 4:30 PM with several pop-up concerts along Brandenburger Straße and continues at 5:30 PM with a free anniversary concert at the Friedenskirche in Sanssouci Park. Admission and concert attendance are free, following the guiding principle #KAPfüralle. ([kammerakademie-potsdam.de](https://www.kammerakademie-potsdam.de/event/25-jahre-kap-ueberraschungskonzert/))

Music, Movement, and Urban Flair

The parade alone transforms the anniversary into a lively event experience: short musical stops, spontaneous moments, and an audience atmosphere that connects the Potsdam city center with classical music. The Kammerakademie Potsdam focuses on intimacy rather than distance, bringing its anniversary directly into the everyday life of the city.

The Free Concert at the Friedenskirche

Following that, a surprise program awaits at the Friedenskirche. The sacred space in Sanssouci Park is regularly one of the performance venues of the KAP and offers an impressive setting for the concert with its unique acoustics and atmosphere. Admission is free for visitors. ([kammerakademie-potsdam.de](https://www.kammerakademie-potsdam.de/event/25-jahre-kap-ueberraschungskonzert/))
