The Potsdam music scene thrives both from its being rooted in the city, as well as from its spontaneity and continual state of change. Bands and orchestras with decades of tradition and local color lend character to the city's music life just as much as promising young bands from the rock and pop music scenes, not to mention the many DJs.
Among the bands and ensembles which perform in Potsdam and whose fame has spread beyond the city itself, are the Alte Wache (Old Guard), Subway to Sally, Keimzeit, and Antiqua, but also groups such as the Swing Connection, the Youth Symphony Orchestra, and the Potsdam Turmbläser (musicians specializing in the performance of music from atop towers).
The music scene is enriched by performances of national and international artists, and it's truly worthwhile to get involved in whether in the Lindenpark, in the Waschhaus, or any of the numerous pubs according to your taste and mood.
