A summer afternoon full of borderland sounds in the Hofgarten
Hraybery brings a special form of live atmosphere to the stage at the music pavilion in the Hofgarten Düsseldorf: freely accessible open-air music inspired by dance traditions from the Polish-Ukrainian border area.

Forgotten melodies, newly ignited
The ensemble dedicates itself to a repertoire of Kolomyjkas, Mazurkas, Polkas, and other dance pieces based on archival material and ethnological sources. According to the festival and WOMEX profile, the band brings music from around 200 years ago back to life, relying on a historically anchored instrumentation with violin, dulcimer, frame drum, and vocals.

Sound between tradition and movement
Hraybery stands for a precise orchestration of rhythm and melody: the instruments interlock like the gears of an old dance machine, which still sounds fresh and direct. This makes the concert experience particularly appealing for all who want to experience traditional music not in a museum-like way but physically and in the present. The repertoire is deeply rooted in the cultural crossroads of Galicia, where Poles, Ukrainians, Jews, and Roma left musical traces over generations.

The Hofgarten as a natural stage
The music pavilion in the Hofgarten is one of the most atmospheric open-air locations in Düsseldorf. The venue is located between the Schauspielhaus and Schloss Jägerhof, is part of the historic Hofgarten, and provides an open framework for concerts outdoors during the summer. For visitors, this means: green backdrop, relaxed access, and a place where music and park landscape come together immediately.
