A musical BBQ event
in a class of its own
Greenbelt roses x Arff Castle
Fun singing meets fun savouring. The Grüngürtelrosen, long more than just an insider tip in Cologne's cultural scene, will be singing in the beautiful setting of Schoss Arff as part of the Fine Food Days Cologne. In typical Grüngürtelrosen style, part of the proceeds will be donated to charity.
The Greenbelt roses combine vocally powerful choral movements with a wink, musical diversity with a clear attitude - and all with unmistakable Cologne charm. With over 100 singers, the Grüngürtelrosen interpret numerous medleys in their very own way - powerful, emotional and unmistakable. The arrangements are customised by choirmaster Constantin Gold, the sound is unique and the performances ... legendary. Their repertoire ranges from Cologne songs to all-time classics and international hits. It is a musical statement - with heart, attitude and humour.
Arff Castle is an enchanting baroque palace in the north of Cologne. When the weather is hopefully perfect, the romantic landscaped park becomes a stage for culinary delights and music. The coveted event location combines historical charm, idyllic surroundings and perfect facilities.
Peter Golla, head chef at the Wolkenburg, will be serving a top-class BBQ in his usual top quality. There will be veggies, fish and meat from the grill and smoker. In addition to homemade pasta from the Parmesan wheel, there will be refreshing, warming, new and traditional dishes - young and old alike will enjoy a happy afternoon here.
