ILJA’s RICHTER have dedicated themselves to the rock and pop songs of the seventies since 1999 and cover them authentically and very close to the original. Legendary are their performances with stars of that time such as CHRIS NORMAN, SUZIE QUATRO, JOHN KINCADE, GUILDO HORN, and especially THE SWEET on Carnival Sunday 2004. In 2019, ILJA’s RICHTER played one of their legendary carnival concerts again for the first time after a five-year break. The concept remained unchanged: rock and pop songs from the seventies.
Since then, the band has been heating up the BORA in Duisburg on Carnival Sunday.

In 2026, the band led by singer STEFAN WERNER (All Star Band, Typhoon) will once again fire up the audience with songs from Sweet, Queen, Uriah Heep, and Pink Floyd, making the evening a real seventies experience.

ILJA’s RICHTER at BORA: 15.02.2026 at BORA.

The hall in BORA will be standing room only, with a limited number of seats available in the balcony.

Tickets are available online at reservix.de or directly at BORA (Dellplatz 16A, 47051 Duisburg) at a discounted price!

Doors open: 7 PM

With "Superjeilezick", the band achieved what can be described as winning the lottery with their famous fathers – Rolly Brings, singing legend Tommy Engel, and politician Norbert Blüm – in 2000. In the meantime, this electrifying power polka has become one of the most popular songs in Kölsch dialect far beyond Carnival. For Brings, doors opened wide in the carnival stronghold of Cologne. A new era began along with a thoroughly successful image transformation.

Barely a carnival season has passed since then without a new hit from Brings hitting the land. "Poppe, Kaate, Danze", "Su lang mer noch am Lääve sin", "Halleluja", "Dat is Geil", "Polka, Polka", or the always sentimental mood-lifting "Mama, wir danken dir" provide ringing proof of how well Brings knows the feelings and moods of their fellow humans.

They have also developed an absolute good nose for original cover versions: "Man müsste noch mal 20 sein", an adaptation of the 50s hit by Cologne original Gerhard Jussenhoven, and the Zarah Leander evergreen "Nur nicht aus Liebe weinen" have been given new life with vigor.

In doing so, they expertly incorporate gypsy melodies, polkas, and other folkloric explosives seamlessly into their own songs, enhancing them with the power of rock music. Peter Brings and his guys throw themselves wholeheartedly into each of their energetic stage performances. No band in the German-speaking area allows the audience to participate in their music more tangibly and directly at concerts. And they have never held back their words. Their occasional controversies with their songs have ultimately only made them more popular.

As their biggest hit says, they are real "Kölsche Jungs".

Karneval des Glücks - musikalische Lesung

The animal charms of this "zoological fantasy" have inspired Roger Willemsen to a sharp-tongued and at times coarse journey into the animal kingdom. With linguistic wit, joy in the picturesque, and a mocking glance at the here and now, Willemsen energetically guides the listener through the classic by Saint-Saëns. (Eichborn AG)
"Katja Riemann ... recited gesturing, running around on stage. She spoke with a Berlin accent, used Northern German and Italian accents. Switching from a deep voice to a suddenly squeaky one, she humorously and partly mockingly presented the picturesque text filled with much linguistic wit. In between, the ensemble intonated Saint-Saëns' genius music. With passion and danger, one could hear the lions roaring from the two wings. The violin had the task of imitating cheerful birdsong. The ensemble passionately accompanied with a joyful spirit at the highest level."
FLZ Neustadt | Rüdiger Pfeiffer | August 14, 2023

Program:
Saint-Saëns/Willemsen: Carnival of the Animals
Roger Willemsen: The Tired Happiness
Works by Mozart, Elgar, Prokofiev, and others.

Wir woll(t)en niemals auseinandergehn - Premiere

"Wir woll(t)en niemals auseinandergehn" Premiere!

A musical cabaret evening with Ilja Richter and Anika Neipp
On piano: Harry Ermer

Inspired by Georg Kreislers bittersweet conclusion of a marriage - "When we were thinner, we stood closer to each other" - Ilja Richter and Anika Neipp invite you to an evening that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Between chanson, cabaret, and clever satire, they dedicate themselves to the ups and downs of human relationships - both private and political.
The title "Wir woll(t)en niemals auseinandergehn" plays with the famous hit by Heidi Brühl - and with the transience of promises. The small inserted "t" symbolically represents the discrepancy between desire and reality, between closeness and distance, between East and West, man and woman, then and now.
With fine irony and musical skill, Anika Neipp and Ilja Richter illuminate the stories that life writes - whether in the small between two people or in the large between two German states. In songs by Charles Aznavour, Georg Kreisler, and others, chansons about letting go, remembering, and not giving up resonate.
Ilja Richter - known for his versatile acting, his distinctive voice, and his love for pointed words - meets the powerful and expressive singer Anika Neipp. Together they present musical craftsmanship, where no tone is accidental - but many hit right in the heart.
They are accompanied by Harry Ermer on piano, who completes the evening with his musical virtuosity.
A program that entertains as well as provokes thought - with humor, attitude, and heart.

Admission: 6:30 PM

Der Karneval der Tiere / ab 4 Jahren - ensemble minifaktur

Children's concert with narration
based on the work of Camille Saint-Saëns

Pietro Sarno, conductor

Kangaroos perform daring jumps, turtles dance the Can-Can in slow motion, and wild donkeys try to match the grace of a circus horse. Of course, the king of the animals must not be missing: majestically and with a loud roar, the lion enters the ring, soon to be enchanted by the graceful swimming skills of the magnificent swan. It is a grand spectacle when the animals gather for the major event of the year: the carnival.

Camille Saint-Saëns' grand "zoological fantasy" is now considered one of his most famous compositions. In cheerful musical miniatures, he imitates various animal sounds. He even poked fun at his composer colleagues, such as Hector Berlioz with the "elephant." There's plenty to discover. The only solution is: perk up your ears, listen, have fun, and dive into the animal cosmos of Saint-Saëns.

Reduced tickets €4.00

With generous support from Music Open by Fränkel.

4. KlassikSonntag Saison 2025/26 - Karneval der Tiere

West German Symphony Leverkusen
Nina Gurol and Franziska Staubach (Piano)
Jan-Gregor Kremp (Speaker) Dirk Joeres (Conductor)

The "Karneval der Tiere" by Camille Saint-Saëns is one of the most popular pieces of classical music. It brings great joy not only to adults, but especially to young listeners – and they are especially welcome at this concert!

In addition to the 14 beloved short pieces by Saint-Saëns, which are arranged for a nine-member instrumental ensemble and musically depict the typical characteristics of various animals, the overture from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as well as Suite No. 2 by Stravinsky will also be performed.

Framed linguistically by the actor Jan-Gregor Kremp, this creates a special event that is thoroughly child-friendly, inspiring dreams, laughter, thought, and childlike enthusiasm.

A truly animalistic fun for the whole family!

"Canti carnascialeschi – Karneval als Spiegel" [5]

The carnival in Florence was a collective ritual, cyclically recurring, socially permeable, and musically pointed. The canti carnascialeschi give a voice to these festivals. They originate from Renaissance Florence and were sung by professional groups who made their work, their language – and above all their pleasure – public. Semperviva connects these songs with contemporary texts and comments. The focus is not on provocation, but on the pattern: seasons, role changes, linguistic wit – everything follows fixed rules. Translator and author Tobias Roth introduces the historical context. The festival was clearly structured – the content often anything but that.

Note: This event contains explicit erotic metaphors and themes in the song lyrics and musical explanations that are unsuitable for a younger audience. We recommend attendance at the event exclusively for persons aged 18 and over.

Admission: from 16:10

Karneval des Glücks - Liesborner Museumskonzerte

oger Willemsen leaves a gap that can never be filled. I want to hear his words, his attitude, opinions, and inputs on the current geopolitical, environmental, and humanitarian situation and let them enrich me. He himself was often inspired by music and literature to create his own artistic responses.
We want to try to do the same this evening. Camille Saint-Saëns' incomparable compositions led him to a lyrical story that simply bursts with humor and imagination. And everything rhymes! All references to religion, eroticism, human rights, or mentality are reflected in the anthropomorphized animal beings. When I came across Roger Willemsen's adaptation of the Book of Job disguised as an illustrated children's book titled "Das müde Glück," it was clear that this had to be our second part, the other side of the coin. The carnival and the circus: both equally extraordinary gatherings of humans and animals, framed by entertainment. In the timeless story of Job, man is tested by God, as in the Bible, also in Joseph Roth, and ultimately with Roger Willemsen. We want to take our audience to the place of humor and music this evening, for both can be healing. (Katja Riemann)
In the first part of the evening, "The Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint-Saëns will be performed with Roger Willemsen’s rhymed text version, before the second part presents a modern adaptation of the Book of Job also with texts by Roger Willemsen set in the circus world with animals, accompanied by music including works by Igor Stravinsky, Fazil Say, Edward Elgar, and Sergei Prokofiev.

Schlosskonzert zu Pfingsten

Camille Saint-Saëns:
„Carnival of the Animals“ (arr. for piano 4 hands)
with text by Loriot

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky:
Swan Lake Suite op. 20 (arr. for piano 4 hands)

// Julia Marie Müller (piano)
// Iwan König (piano)
// Yara König (speaker)
// Lorin König (speaker)

Saint-Saëns’ „Carnival of the Animals“, originally composed as orchestral music, gains an additional lively dimension through Loriot's original and simultaneously poetic texts. This connection between Saint-Saëns’ playful, lively melodies and Loriot's humor creates a work that entertains wonderfully. Especially in the various movements – from the elegant “Swan” to the energetic “Kangaroos” – the diversity of the animal kingdom is made tangible through the piano. The text by Loriot is read by siblings Yara and Lorin König (12 and 8 years old).

Admission from 6:30 PM | Entry to the countryside party from 6:00 PM is free for concert visitors.
