Ronny Weiland, the singer with the deep goosebumps-inducing voice, will be performing in Meißen as part of his Germany tour with his new program. The idea for the new show came from the audience who know and have experienced his emotional concerts. Along with his own songs such as "BETENDE HÄNDE" and "GIB ELTERN ETWAS WIEDER," requests from all guests will be fulfilled, so the well-known "WOLGALIED" will also be heard.

This concert includes the great successes of the Masters and classical melodies. The program will feature songs like "FREUDE SCHÖNER GÖTTERFUNKEN," "AVEMARIA," and the song of the prisoner's chorus from NABUCCO. Memories of childhood and youth will also surface when Ronny Weiland sings old German folk songs.

With the program "Herbstblues ade," the ensemble aims to put a smile on its audience's face.
Look forward to a colorful concert with lively melodies, harmonious sounds, and witty moderation from the musicians. In addition to sequences from famous film scores, waltzes, tangos, and polkas will also be heard.
For this, the ensemble temporarily transforms into a brass trio or string duo with piano accompaniment and guarantees a multifaceted concert experience for every musical taste.

The ensemble was founded in 2018 by Ingrid Sonn-Knee and has since made it its mission to discover lesser-known compositions and gems from the salons of the turn of the century, alongside famous works by J. Strauss or A. Dvorak, and to present these with sonically appealing arrangements as virtuously as they are emotionally to their audience.

Franziska Dahme-Kohler, flute - Cornelia Göbel, clarinet
Juli Linden-Wittermann, violin - Ingrid Sonn-Knee, piano
Leonhard Kohler, bassoon - Elizabeta Crnojevic, cello

For the concert, a flexible pricing model is offered. This arrangement applies to all seats in the hall. You can spend
€9, €19, or €29 per ticket according to your personal preferences and possibilities.
The goal of this innovative model is to make concert attendance possible for all music enthusiasts while ensuring that artists receive an adequate fee.

Admission is free for children and teenagers up to 14 years old!

The final concert of the 48th Nuremberg Church Music Days with the Palestrina Choir Nuremberg features three anniversaries in its program. Following motets by Charles Villiers Stanford (100th anniversary of death) and Vytautas Miskinis (65th birthday), the main work of the concert is the Missa Papae Marcelli by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (430th anniversary of death), the namesake of the choir. It is Palestrina's most famous mass, thanks to the legend that the composer supposedly convinced the council fathers in Trent with this work to ban polyphonic singing from the Catholic Mass and to allow only the single-voiced Gregorian chant.
It is therefore not surprising that this mass is among the showcase pieces of the Palestrina Choir Nuremberg!

The event venue is wheelchair accessible.

What do I wear and why exactly? The choice from the wardrobe is rarely random. Most of the time, with our outfit, we want to convey something: We show our belonging to a group, our taste, our prosperity. We openly send ambiguous messages. This applies to children's clothing as well as to adults', today as 200 years ago.

With special exhibits from the field of children's fashion, the exhibition aims to show why children wear what they wear and how the development has evolved since 1800. Where does the sailor suit come from and what did noble children wear? What role does society play at all? Why do children also wear corsets and how do the ideas of philosophers, doctors, and educators influence children's clothing? What influences determine children's fashion today?

The exhibition offers surprising insights and comparisons into the fashion worlds of children up to the present. One station also invites you to participate and try out: Here, for example, you can digitally slip into a hoop skirt or a sailor suit.

Tue - Sun 11am-5pm

Not only for children, a unique artwork has been created at the Museum Gelnhausen: The walk-in ear takes visitors on a small expedition into the interior of our bodies. Through a huge ear shell, children and the young at heart can crawl through the ear canal - or enter comfortably through a door - and explore the middle ear. This makes it easy to imagine how Philipp Reis, over 150 years ago, came up with the idea of ​​building a device that transmits the human voice over long distances with his small wooden ear model.

Adults € 8.00, Children (7-16 years) € 5.00, Children (3-6 years) € 3.00, Reduced rate adults € 6.00
Family ticket (2 adults + 2 to 4 own children) € 20.00

Meeting point:

"When a woman and a man stand before the registrar, one should wonder who of the two will be the murderer," he says. "I love you, and that kills me," she says. What if a man no longer recognizes his wife due to amnesia? What if she knows something that he shouldn't know? And what if he knows that she knows what he shouldn't know? A man, a woman. Fifteen years of marriage. A game with the truth and how it goes... everyone knows only their own truth? In the end, the question remains, who is lying here and why? The dialogue of the spouses is a game, a game of remembering and forgetting, a game of truth and lies, a love-hate tingling till the end. A great piece (by the way, a successful book as well) - exciting, intelligent, multifaceted! Featuring: Patrick Twinem & Sigrid Siewior.

1 hour before each performance.

Puppet theater piece for children aged 4 and up based on Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler

In this story by the authors of "The Gruffalo", a cute villain wreaks his nasty havoc: Robber Rat robs every animal that crosses his path of their food. Whether he likes the rabbit's clover or the squirrel's hard nuts or not – Robber Rat eats everything from the forest's inhabitants and sends them into fear and terror. The animals grow ever thinner and more desperate, until one day the duck decides that the nasty rat must be stopped. And clever and brave as she is, she devises a brilliant trick for the rat...

Puppentheater Pulcinella

A brand new Original & Fälschung city tour with true and false stories about none other than Trude Herr! This is my tour number 10, meeting point Overstolzenhaus, the next bus and train stop is the Heumarkt stop. It is planned that we will end at the Severinstorburg, but this is only one hundred percent certain shortly before the first tour, because the old hands among you know that I like to let the stories carry me along....

At the beginning and end of Roman rule, there were fortresses in Konstanz, which are now only recognizable by discoloration in the ground. However, late antiquity has left a mighty wall and an octagonal fortress tower. At the excavation site in the underground museum - by the wall and tower - the results of the excavations are shown and explained.

The presale will start shortly.

Women in Music

Despite the introduction of equality in 1957, the proportion of women in our current composer scene is only about 13%. The Twiolins, set up as a brother and sister duo, aim to open perspectives with this program and put a focus on the female voice in music!

In their search in libraries and archives, they found Maddalena Laura Lombardini Sirmen, a Venetian violinist, singer, and classical composer, who traveled as a brilliant violinist on tours throughout Europe.

Not so unknown anymore is Fanny Hensel, born Fanny Mendelssohn, the sister of the famous composer. During her lifetime, the family forbade her a musical career, but nowadays she is indispensable in the concert calendar. To honor her as a trailblazer, Christoph Dingler arranged one of her most beautiful works as a duo.

Then there is a work in the modern era, by Grazyna Bacewicz, the celebrated Polish composer - with her genius and joyous Sparkling Suite.

All other works are by living female composers personally known to The Twiolins. There is a special story behind this:

The compositions were created within the composition competition initiated by The Twiolins and were awarded and honored by the audience. All of them have already made a name for themselves as composers and are mostly successful performing musicians themselves. Their works tell vivid stories that play out in the audience's mind - as their musical language is often inspired by film music.

Boleros, Bossa Novas, Tangos with a touch of Jazz
Latin rhythms on Sunday

Boleros from the tradition of the "Buena Vista Social Club", Brazilian Bossa Novas in the style of the 1960s, and traditional tangos from Argentina.

Jazz singer Claudia Carbo, who grew up in Peru, has been a sought-after artist for years. With verve, she switches from one genre to another, from the rhythmic Bolero to the drama of Tango, to the swinging lightness of Bossa Nova. She modulates the tones and improvises melodically.

"With Latino charm, joy of life, and a lively performance, her concerts are characterized by musical passion and sensual radiance...", praises the Stuttgarter Zeitung.

She is accompanied by guitarist Dr. Jörg Heuser. He completed his doctorate on jazz guitarist Pat Martino, studied at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, and with legends like Joe Pass, Bob Mintzer, and Ella Fitzgerald's bassist Ray Brown. He regularly performs a jazz and Latin program with Claudia Carbo.

"Domingo Latino" - a beautiful weekend closure with a changing repertoire, to dream of Rio, Havana, and traditional Buenos Aires.

Doors open at 7:00 PM.

Bernd Stelter - Don't Get Upset. Just Gives Wrinkles!

What don't we get upset about? About the parking ticket on the windshield, the slow cashier at the supermarket checkout, about the federal government, and about the weather. When we get annoyed, when we are angry, the glabella wrinkle between the eyebrows digs deep into our skin. That's why it's called the anger wrinkle. And then everyone can see it.

When we laugh, our skin improves. With a smile on our face, we become more attractive to our fellow human beings. The opposite sex is drawn to us. And laughing is healthy. The lungs are trained, the brain gets an oxygen shower.

"Don't get upset, just gives wrinkles!" is Bernd Stelter's new program. There's a lot to laugh about. In two hours, wrinkles will be smoothed, skin will improve, and the corners of the mouth will be lifted. It's like a two-hour beauty treatment without Botox and annoying plastic surgeons.

Andreas Spering, Conductor and Moderator

 

 

Beginning of an Era

Johann Sebastian Bach's over 200 cantatas are one of humanity's greatest cultural treasures. However, they are rarely performed in concert halls and church services nowadays. Conductor Andreas Spering has been offering the opportunity to experience Bach's cantata work in the atmospheric setting of the Castle Church since 2011 with the concert series "Bach at Four". Accompanying moderations help to better understand and enjoy the works. For the new installment, Spering has selected two Leipzig cantatas. With the cantata "Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn," Bach successfully applied for the position of Thomaskantor in February 1723. The chorale cantata "Allein zu Dir, Herr Jesu Christ" had its premiere a year later, on September 3, 1724. Its designation as the "Cantata of Love" is owed in no small part to the heartfelt mercy and love of God that is also sung about.

 

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750)

„Du wahrer Gott und Davids Sohn“ BWV 23, Cantata for Estomihi Sunday

„Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ“ BWV 33, Cantata for the 13th Sunday after Trinity

 

Children and parents can experience how a shapeless lump of clay in their hands turns into a small work of art, and they will see the many possibilities that modeling with clay offers. Under guidance, candle holders, lanterns, decorative items, containers, door signs, or animal sculptures for the home and garden are created. The joint work with clay becomes a great experience for children and parents.
