Musikgarten Konzert mit Sarah Julia

In the organizer's words:

Live sessions, real sounds & a unique atmosphere

Musikgarten is a series of concerts at the Areal Böhler, where international artists perform in a unique atmosphere. The concerts take place outdoors in Böhler Park from July - between the evening sun, open meadows and urban industrial backdrop, special open-air concerts are created with real proximity to the artists.

Since 2024, Musikgarten has already brought many different artists to the stage: from Dutch superstar Douwe Bob and Australian songwriting sensation Asha Jefferies to local greats such as Lina Maly and zeck. The unconventional and high-quality selection has already delighted more than 5,000 spectators.

To capture these special moments, selected concerts are accompanied by a high-quality video production and published on the festival's own social media channels. This extraordinary concert series will continue this year. You can look forward to innovative acts from the singer-songwriter, indie pop and electro genres.

Concert tickets are deliberately priced fairly at €15 so that this unique musical experience remains accessible to as many people as possible.

Location: Areal Böhler, Böhler Park

Admission: 6 pm

Start of concert: 8 pm

About the artist:

Sarah Julia is a Dutch folk duo consisting of sisters Sarah and Julia, whose debut album "The Fear That This Is Real" captures the fragile gray area between hesitation and change. In the fall of 2025, the duo traveled from Amsterdam to Woodstock, New York, to record the album with producer Philip Weinrobe (Adrianne Lenker, Florist, Hand Habits). Recording 12 songs live over six days - often late at night and by candlelight - the sisters took a collaborative, headphone-free approach that put instinct before perfection, allowing the music to breathe and gain depth. Before their music careers, Sarah and Julia were actresses and performed in theaters and films in the Netherlands. Growing up listening to the folk records of Cat Stevens and Jim Croce, they eventually found their own voice through the guitar; Julia was drawn to its warmth, Sarah to the mandolin and other 'tiny instruments'. Their debut EP from 2024, "How Do We Go Back To Being Normal?", dealt with mistrust and changing family dynamics, followed by "Only Making It Worse" from 2025, which traced the slow healing process of emotional wounds. With "The Fear That This Is Real", the sisters simultaneously turn inward and outward, writing with unflinching honesty about heartbreak, self-sabotage, insecurity, longing and acceptance. With intuitive ease and radiant harmonies, they exchange lines and illuminate both sides of the fractures of love, challenging each other to confront deeper truths. Vastness and intimacy unite their songs, balancing melancholy with clarity and returning to questions of transience and perspective. "I don't know where I'm going, but I'll get there," they sing, extending a calm, reassuring hand into the unknown.
