In the Capital of Culture year 2025, the Silbermann Days in September will explore the "Sound of Europe".

The program includes an open air event in Freiberg's castle courtyard, a concert in the Chemnitz Railway Museum and a double concert via livestream in Freiberg Cathedral and St. Thomas Church in Strasbourg.
