Disillusion announce their LIVE SPRING 2026 tour.

Between two album productions, the Leipzig progressive metal visionaries DISILLUSION take time in spring 2026 to unleash their incomparable stage energy live again – in Germany and Europe.

In addition to songs from the current album AYAM, the 20th anniversary of GLORIA is also highlighted in the setlist – a work that, even two decades after its release, has lost none of its timeless luminosity. And since the gentlemen are by no means idle… a new track?

After the successful, often sold-out tour in 2024, which included performances in Germany, France, and the USA, fans can now look forward to a new intense live experience – emotional, epic, and uncompromising.

The Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie and the 10-year-old exceptional talent Louis Zhang present the Piano Concerto in D minor by J. S. Bach

The young members of the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie (DSP) already impress with their high quality and the excellence of their playing on major international stages and festivals, including in the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein and at the festival of the best youth orchestras in the world in Berlin.

Louis Zhang - only ten years old and already a professional on the keys! At the age of four, Louis Zhang received his first piano lessons from pianist Viera Fischer. He regularly participates in the "Music Holidays at Starnberger See," where musically talented children and adolescents receive particularly intensive support under the patronage of the renowned violinist Julia Fischer.

He already succeeded with the Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie last year under the direction of chief conductor Wolfgang Hentrich in the Starnberger Schlosshalle. This year, he will showcase his impressive talent with the Piano Concerto in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach.

The concert on July 16 is titled "Divertimento."

The Deutsche Streicherphilharmonie is supported by the Federal Minister for Education, Family, Seniors, Women and Youth.

Admission: 6:30 PM

For 80 years now, the Moomins, created by Finnish artist Tove Jansson, have invited us to view the world with a curious eye and an open heart. What began as a drawing experiment by a young political cartoonist evolved into a cultural universe where empathy, courage, and a subversive humor set the tone. The exhibition at the Literaturhaus Munich presents Tove Jansson and her iconic characters in a comprehensive way for the first time and offers a glimpse into the artistic work that extends far beyond the Moomin Valley. The exhibition reveals that special mix of poetry and anarchy, of security and resilience that has touched generations of readers: a cosmos that reminds adults of their inner child while simultaneously rekindling their imagination.

This tour is expressly not aimed at children, but is recommended for teenagers and adults aged 14 and up who wish to discover Tove Jansson as a versatile artist—as well as the timeless messages of her charmingly headstrong trolls.

LISA FRÜHBEIS, born in 1987, studied in Paris, Urbino, and Augsburg. In her work, she examines power and privilege from a feminist perspective. Her first book, the feminist comic strip collection "Busengewunder" (Carlsen Verlag), was awarded the Max und Moritz Prize for the Best German Comic Strip. She has also received the Bavarian Art Prize for Literature and a 3x3 New York Illustration Merit Award.
Even as a child, she spent hours looking at Moomin drawings. In 2021, she delved into Tove Jansson's life during an artist residency in Sweden, and in 2022, she created an artistic non-fiction comic about her life for the feminist comic exhibition "Vorbilder*innen."

Every day we say goodbye: to certainties, phases of life, illusions, people – sometimes consciously, sometimes unconsciously. In her new book "Abschied leben" (Rowohlt), journalist and author Gabriele von Arnim ("Life is a Temporary State," "The Comfort of Beauty") writes about losses and transitions, about the demands of the present, and the art of withstanding one's own vulnerability. She combines personal experience with social observation and existential reflection into a "poetic yet life-wise essay" (Die Zeit) and discusses why letting go can also bring comfort.

Come by for the signing session with Franz Xaver Gernstl on July 16, 2026, at your Hugendubel bookstore in Munich Fünf Höfe!

In his SPIEGEL bestseller "Glück gehabt!", Gernstl tells the best stories, about the wild years "on the road," and about what he found without ever having searched for it: an adventurous life with his best friends and a hint of what happiness means.

Information about the book:
Three men in a red bus. For 40 years, Franz Xaver Gernstl has traveled around the world with two friends in search of good stories and special people. People in the countryside and in the city, on the fringes of society and in the fast lane. How do they live? What drives them? What do they dream of? From this, the BR cult series "Gernstl unterwegs" was created. In around 1000 conversations, people share their lives. Openly, directly, and sometimes quite quirky. But how do such encounters happen? Can you plan chance? Or does it ultimately mean simply: Glück gehabt?!

Information about the author:
Franz Xaver Gernstl, born 1951, is a trained banker and studied social educator but quickly realized that handling numbers in a suit and tie or sitting in an ivory tower was not for him. He wanted to go out, tell stories, meet people, and make films. A fixed idea for Bayerischer Rundfunk "Driving around in search of something" turned into an incomparable TV success story: "Gernstl unterwegs" ran for 42 years on television and achieved cult status. Together with cameraman Hans Peter Fischer and sound engineer Stefan Ravasz, he traveled across the republic, Europe, and the world from 1983 to 2024, acting as producer, director, and moderator at the same time. Filmmaker Franz Xaver Gernstl is responsible for numerous successful formats in the German TV landscape with his production company megaherz Film und Fernsehen: "Landfrauenküche," "Willi wills wissen," "Checker Tobi," and "Checkerin Marina" are among them, as well as "Erleuchtung garantiert" by Doris Dörrie. Gernstl and megaherz are multiple Grimme Award winners, recipients of the Bavarian Film Award, the Bavarian Television Award, and the German Film Award.

This musical project tells the story of Spanish women writers, dancers, composers, guitarists, and singers, both in Flamenco and classical music. In their works, there are true treasures that we will bring back to life in this 90-minute concert.

After our enthusiastically received program about the life of Federico García Lorca, who fought for the rights of Spanish women with his art, this new event focuses on the art of these women themselves.

We present compositions by the Spanish mezzo-soprano and composer Pauline Viardot-García (1821–1910), who became famous throughout Europe and organized salons in Paris where composers like Chopin and Liszt performed.

Slightly later, María Rodrigo Bellido (1888–1967) wrote the first Spanish opera by a woman, which is still performed today. From the same generation comes the composer and pianist Emiliana Zubeldía (1888–1987), who published a song album with melodies based on Flamenco. We will also interpret lyrics from the legendary Cantaora Niña de los Peines, whose voice revolutionized Flamenco. These pieces will also be accompanied by Flamenco dance.

These artists created female figures with character, humor, and independence, far removed from the traditional roles of the faithful lover, the coquettish seductress, or the maid. Their Flamenco songs celebrate strength, pride, and freedom instead of suffering and submission. During the concert, we will experience how these extraordinary women of Spanish art have given a new, female face to it.
