KULTUR GEHT FLÖTEN!
Music history(ies) about artists, composers & commerce – live with Andreas Oesterling & Maik Pagels

Imagine you could trace the journey of music from the baroque court chapel to the streaming era in just over two hours – with surprising Aha moments, fascinating backgrounds, and live music. That is exactly what "Kultur geht flöten!" invites you to: Maik Pagels, a music journalist and DJ, currently a music editor at Radio Bremen, formerly a program director at VIVA/MTV and a long-time radio maker in private broadcasting (including radio ffn), knows the music and media business from firsthand experience. Together with concert pianist Andreas Oesterling, he takes the audience on an entertaining journey through four centuries of music history – and shows how sound, commerce, and culture have changed over time.

It’s not just about big names like Bach, Mozart, or Taylor Swift – but also about people from the background, as well as innovations, social developments, and media strategies that continue to shape the music consumption of the Western world today. Who decides what music we listen to? How do artists become brands? And who actually profits when a song plays on the radio – and how much? Maik Pagels provides exciting insights into the workings of the music market – from the first handwritten sheet music to the algorithms. Andreas Oesterling interprets works from classical, jazz, and pop live on the piano, thus connecting musical experience with lively knowledge transfer.

The program is interactive, but guarantees to be accessible: It is aimed at music lovers of all generations, regardless of prior knowledge. The focus is not on a raised finger, but on the desire to rediscover music or to question old listening habits. Why are once bustling opera houses sinking into darkness? Why do many people avoid concerts – despite the fact that according to the Relevanzmonitor Kultur 2025 (forsa & Liz-Mohn-Stiftung), 90% of Germans consider culture to be indispensable? Among other things, a lack of basic musical education or the habitus of other visitors today makes access difficult for many potential cultural users. "Kultur geht flöten!" addresses exactly this by aiming to break down barriers and ignite a passion for an active music culture – whether in the concert hall or at home in the living room.

In a time when cultural offerings are increasingly under pressure, "Kultur geht flöten!" makes it clear that music is far more than entertainment. So, if you want to find out what lies behind certain pieces of music, why music is so much more than mere entertainment – and are wondering what kind of people still listen to jazz today – you should not miss this evening.

At the events in the CD-Kaserne, a diverse range of drinks, as well as snacks (pretzel pastries, peanuts, etc.), will be available.

Doors open at 6:30 PM, ticket price at the box office: €25 (if tickets are still available)

The CD-Kaserne gGmbH is supported by the Sparkasse Celle-Gifhorn-Wolfsburg.
