欧洲中央银行（ECB）与赫森广播公司将于2026年8月20日在法兰克福韦塞勒船坞（Weseler Werft）联合举办Europa Open Air音乐会[1]。此免费活动以"庆祝欧洲"为主题，现场于下午4点开放，汇聚音乐演出、文化展示和社区互动[1]。ECB主席Christine Lagarde表示："音乐创造了超越边界的共同体验，提醒我们作为欧洲人的连接"[1]。
音乐会阵容包括法兰克福广播大乐队、法兰克福广播交响乐团以及Grammy获奖爵士歌手Kurt Elling和手风琴大师Richard Galliano[1]。ECB将在活动现场展示十项欧元纸币候选设计方案，这些设计基于"欧洲文化"和"河流与鸟类"两个主题，并邀请公众参与调查[1]。
The European Central Bank and Hessischer Rundfunk will jointly organize a free public concert on August 20, 2026, at Weseler Werft in Frankfurt under the theme "Celebrating Europe"[1]. The event will combine music, culture, and community activities, featuring performances by the Frankfurt Radio Big Band, Frankfurt Radio Symphony, and Grammy Award-winning jazz vocalist Kurt Elling alongside accordion virtuoso Richard Galliano[1].
ECB President Christine Lagarde emphasized the unifying power of the occasion, stating that "music creates shared experiences that transcend borders and remind us of our connections as Europeans"[1]. Beyond the musical performances, the ECB will showcase ten candidate designs for Euro banknotes during the concert, inviting public participation through a survey[1]. The designs are based on two thematic concepts: "European Culture" and "Rivers and Birds"[1]. Admission is free, with the venue opening at 16:00[1].
