The one is a doctor and rock musician, the other a cabaret artist and trained literature scholar. Together they meet to embark on a quest: What is good for a person? What do we need? How do you live healthy and happy, without the inner lazybones whining too loudly? What does the mind require while the body wants something else, and how can you bring both into harmony? To address these fundamental questions, both will bring their respective professions to the scale and onto the stage: Medicine/Humor, Health/Societal Consideration, Biology/Poetry, Classic Literature and the Latest Studies. But in everything, the cabaret artist and doctor surely share the insight that underpins this experimental search within the framework of an entertaining evening: Laughter is the best medicine.

The pop choir nolimit, founded in Ennigerloh in 2007, covers hits and classics – a cappella or with accompaniment – from Coldplay to Ed Sheeran, from Sarah Connor to Herbert Grönemeyer. And with success: nolimit is one of the best and most popular pop choirs in NRW. This is evidenced by numerous awards and many sold-out concerts. The more than fifty singers come from the districts of Warendorf and Gütersloh. The choir is conducted by Andreas Warschkow, who also writes most of the arrangements.

The "Ensemble Europa" sees itself as an ambassador for Europe, whose cohesion is unimaginable without art and culture. Paul Gulda moderates the concert evening "Die hohe Kunst der Wiener Klassik" in a well-informed and simultaneously charmingly entertaining manner. In addition to Beethoven's Piano Quartet in E-flat major and the "Kahlenberger Ländler," a musical hike through the Vienna Woods by Christoph Ehrenfellner, the focus of the concert evening is on Franz Schubert's "Trout Quintet." Franz Schubert's "Trout Quintet" is one of the most popular chamber music works of the Classical period. The sunny brightness of the music is also mixed with an undertone of longing, an important trait of Romanticism. It is this romantic longing for harmony that is completely catered to and fulfilled by Schubert's music.

Angebissen!
A literary-musical revue around the women's issue, love, life, and the spices in between. With Jutta Seifert.

When our grandmothers freed themselves from the tight lacing of their corsets a hundred years ago, it was not only because dancing the Charleston was easier without them. A generation later, women brushed the dust of destruction from their dresses, put on their petticoats, and made room again for the head of the family.
Since the eighties, despite education for all, they have been hitting glass ceilings and ultimately take to the streets for Equal Pay Day.
With acting miniatures and poetic word art, as well as self-help literature and satirical chansons, Jutta Seifert takes her audience on a journey through 100 years of women's history.
Great entertainment with wit and depth.

Margot Müller - somewhat freshly married - takes the audience into her domestic everyday life. A life that primarily revolves around making Peter's evening - her married husband - special.
The Göttergattin wipes, scrubs, vacuums, cooks, and bakes. She spreads not only beauty and glitter in the small apartment and on the dishes but also about herself. Only Peter simply has no eyes for it.
With “Göttergattin,” the cultural initiative Filou e.V. presents a solo drag revue about the role of women during the economic miracle.
Lars Rindelaub takes on the role of Margot Müller. He sings live well-known hits from the 50s and 60s of his choice and presents Margot in a variety of carefully selected costumes. For the elaborate drag makeup, Lars Rindelaub personally gets involved.
The idea for the production was provided by Kati Peterleweling, who is also responsible for the script and the staging.
Kati Peterleweling and Lars Rindelaub make a historical statement with “Der Göttergattin,” infused with glamour, in response to the current gender-political backlash.

Tina Teubner knows: Facing the facts has never harmed anyone. At most, the facts. The world is upside down – we stand helplessly and collect loyalty points. Instead of spurring life on, we nag at our loved ones, whip the children through gymnasium fantasy suffocation institutions (if necessary online), submit to the leisure stress dictate, and seriously believe that we can scare away impermanence with Botox.
Tina Teubner prepares to strike back: How about leading a life that deserves the title life, she asks – supported by her pianist Ben Süverkrüp, the man before whom pianos tremble.
It would be pathetic if the only thing left from the Corona times was a mountain of debt and the realization: It's terrible to be alone – even worse if you're not.

“An expressive musician par excellence, who continues the specifically German piano art with his piano playing,” recently titled the FAZ. Nearly 50 CD recordings document the artistic curiosity and passion of Matthias Kirschnereit. Delving into a complete genre of the respective composer is particularly appealing to him. As the artistic director of the Gezeitenkonzerte Ostfriesland, Kirschnereit shapes Lower Saxony's largest classical music festival. In addition to his teaching position at the HMT Rostock, he has been the president of the Johannes Brahms Society in Hamburg since 2021. The first concert part of the program “Romantik Pur” is dedicated to composers Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Richard Wagner, Anton Bruckner, and Frédéric Chopin. In the second concert part, Matthias Kirschnereit interprets the Sonata in F minor, Op. 5 by Johannes Brahms.

The world is full of disaster reports, and it is right and important that someone plays against the madness. In a world of apocalyptic scenarios, Sieber makes it clear: Hope dies last. In the end, humor triumphs. Giving up is not an option. As always, Christoph Sieber garnishes current political cabaret with the big themes of our time: football, politics, society, and the question of why naked mole rats shop so rarely. All of this is adorned with singing, dancing, and a whole array of characters that are taken straight from life. Not only those who appreciate Sieber from television should experience him live. Because nothing exemplifies political cabaret better than laughing together, complaining, crying, and afterwards having a beer in the foyer, knowing: It goes on.

Since its premiere in January 2019, the Beckumer Musicalnacht is already celebrating its seventh big party with musical fans from Beckum and the surrounding area in January 2026. At least six artists, under the musical direction of pianist Michael Ashton, will provide an equally emotional and entertaining evening that takes the audience through almost a century of musical history. From the "Threepenny Opera" from 1928 to classic 50s Broadway productions like "Singin' in the Rain" or "West Side Story," and classics from the 80s and 90s like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Elisabeth," to the latest premieres of the 2020s like "Robin Hood" or "A Beautiful Noise," the ensemble celebrates the catchiest musical melodies of the last 90 years. Meanwhile, the show has developed into a cult event with a large loyal audience.
