The Curious Bards live in Neuwied

Experience The Curious Bards live on July 5th

The Curious Bards, a musical ensemble known for their distinctive blend of medieval, folk, and neoclassical influences, are scheduled to perform at the Abbaye De Rommersdorf in Neuwied, Germany on July 5th, 2026. Their music often features historically inspired instrumentation alongside original compositions and arrangements, creating a soundscape evocative of both historical periods and contemporary artistry. The group frequently incorporates storytelling through their performances, drawing on mythology, folklore, and historical events.

Abbaye De Rommersdorf is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1222. Originally established by the Countess Elisabeth of Sayn, it served as an active monastic community for over four centuries until its secularization in 1803 during the Napoleonic era. Throughout its history, the abbey played a significant role in the region’s religious and cultural life.

Following secularization, the buildings were repurposed; initially as a textile factory and later as a residence for Prussian royalty. Today, the Abbaye De Rommersdorf functions as a cultural center and venue hosting various events including concerts, exhibitions and conferences. The architecture reflects its long history with Romanesque foundations overlaid with Gothic and Baroque elements resulting from subsequent renovations.
