„Momo“
Play based on the children's book classic by Michael Ende
For all aged 8 and up
Consol Theater

On the outskirts of the city, the world seems just fine for Momo and her friends – full of stories, imagination, and time. But suddenly everything changes: people rush through life, become cold, and lose what once made them happy. Behind this transformation are the eerie “grey gentlemen”, who secretly rob people of their lifetime.
With courage, heart, and the mysterious turtle Kassiopeia, Momo confronts this invisible threat – in a race against time to reclaim what really matters.

The Consol Theater from Gelsenkirchen has stood for lively, award-winning theater since 2001, particularly engaging with the life worlds of young people. With several new productions every year and performances in Germany and abroad, it combines artistic quality with cultural education and social interaction.
Detailed information is available on the artist's homepage.

In cooperation with the Office for Children, Youth, and Families and the Cultural Office of the City of Kempen

Ohren auf Ungarn!
Orgel, Stimme & Klavier

The concise title of this extraordinary evening refers directly to a visionary festival concept by the Düsseldorf conductor and composer Mark-Andreas Schlingensiepen, who passed away this year, and whose pioneering spirit we gratefully honor. In the Löricker church, a fascinating dialogue unfolds between organ and piano, unleashing the rhythmic primal force and the tonal diversity of Hungarian modernism. As the central organ piece of the program, Béla Bartók's monumental dances in Bulgarian rhythm will be performed, which, in the groundbreaking arrangement by Oskar Gottlieb Blarr, completely redefines the percussive facets of the organ. The dense instrumental arc leads from György Kurtág's intimate Bach arrangements through György Ligeti's extremely complex, sonorous etudes to the orchestral power of Franz Liszt's Ad nos-Fantasie. A vocal highlight featuring Bartók's rough folk songs refines this captivating, energetic journey beyond borders, which uncompromisingly opens the ears to new sound worlds.

Doors open: 18:30

Jazz meets Classic - The concert experience with Eckhard Radmacher & Friends
Jazz meets Classic with Eckhard Radmacher and Friends
Pulheim. It remains exciting at “
Jazz meets classic – Eckhard Radmacher & friends”. Because every time, Eckhard invites musical colleagues from the national and international fields of classical and jazz music.
This time, Jazz meets Classic will be:
Satire meets Music
Concert and staged reading with composer Marc. L Vogler
After a longer summer break, it continues: On October 14th, at 8 PM, pianist Eckhard Radmacher invites again to the theater in Walzwerk for the next “Jazz meets Classic – Eckhard Radmacher & friends”.
This time as a guest: Young composer and pianist Marc L. Vogler – a repeat performer at Jazz meets Classic, but by no means a man of repetitions.
A lot has happened in the professional life of the 28-year-old since he last performed at the Pulheim theater.
His new sound adventure: improvisations, where he lets the audience call out four notes and a rhythm and then spontaneously improvises on them. “I love the lively exchange with the audience,” says Vogler, who will of course also act as moderator.
Even more:
As part of a staged reading, he will accompany his own satirical short stories on the piano, merging text and music into a live audio play.
And there will be another novelty: Driven by constant humor,
Radmacher & Vogler
came up with the idea: Why not let only the left hands perform? Whereupon Vogler picked up the pen and composed a
piece for two left hands.
The background of this brainwave will be revealed during the premiere of this work on the concert evening.
So, some things will be realized in a duo that evening. Eckhard Radmacher meaningfully fills the evening with solo jazz pieces and “classical” sound pearls.
Marc Vogler (*1998)
is Composer in Residence at the Dortmund Opera and composer of the official soundtrack for this year's World Equestrian Games in Aachen. He has composed for the WDR Symphony Orchestra, New Opera West Los Angeles, and the Theater an der Wien.
