Starting at 8.30 p.m. the orchestra provides the tact for top-class equestrians: The four-time Vaulting World Champion Nadia Zülow as well as the Olympic Dressage Gold Medallist Ann-Kathrin Linsenhoff and the internationally successful dressage rider Tineke Bartels from the Netherlands have all announced their participation. Along with top-class equestrians the spectators can also enjoy further spectacular presentations - amongst other things from the famous horse musical "Zauberwald" (magic forest). A pony quadrille under the direction of Renate Dahmen and the Aachen amazons Jana Kun, Sabine Rueben, Alex Mumm and Astrid Buer will round off the program. Special guest will be the Tenor Andreas Joost, for many years established as a musical star and a "darling" of the audience, who will dazzle the crowd with songs from George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein. Chief Musical Director Marcus R. Bosch will lead the musical direction.
