Talents inspire at the summer concert at the Mariengymnasium in Jever

The summer concert of the Mariengymnasium in Jever was an impressive spectacle that took place on June 24, 2025 in the town church. Students and teachers offered all kinds of musical and dance performances in a two and a half hour program. This event was the result of months of intensive preparation and demonstrated the long-standing tradition of the Mariengymnasium, which has existed since 1573. It was a real pleasure to witness the enthusiasm and talent of those involved.
