The castle complex on a basalt cone on the edge of the old town of Wetzlar has a varied history. Today, only the tower's ruins are left of the castle. High above the old town, you have a comprehensive view of the old town's houses, the Lahn Valley, and the hills of the Lahn-Dill mountain region.

Duration: 1 hour

The sing-along spectacle is back: "WDR 4 sings with Guildo" - the brand new tour for 2024! In collaboration with the charismatic music legend Guildo Horn, this tour will take the audience on an exciting journey through the 80s and the greatest classics.

For WDR 4 listeners, Guildo Horn will slip into the role of choir director. The master's songbook is filled with the greatest WDR 4 favorite hits from the 80s and unforgettable classics waiting to be sung along with the audience: from Cat Stevens to Abba, The Beatles, Queen, and even Frank Sinatra. The master of ceremonies and his band "Die Orthopädische Strümpfe" have many wonderful songs in store that they want to sing together with the WDR 4 listeners.

"In times as uncertain as these, it is incredibly important to recharge the batteries from time to time. Singing is healthy and singing brings joy," says Guildo Horn. "I am eager to sing hits and classics alongside you. And I promise, on my mother's sweet treats, to be a strict, competent, but above all patient and warm-hearted choir leader for you!"

Quantum Clarinet Trio

Start of castle tour: 3:30 pm

Elena Veronesi – clarinet
Johannes Przygodda – cello

Beyond Brahms
The ensemble clarinet, cello, and piano was invented by Johannes Brahms for one of his late trios. In 2014, young students came together at the Salzburg Mozarteum to play this piece and wanted to continue as an ensemble afterwards. The Quantum Clarinet Trio - now winners of the third prize at the Fischoff Chamber Music Competition 2020 - was born.

In addition to the most famous work for their instrumentation, Brahms's Trio for Clarinet, Cello, and Piano op. 114, and works by Felix Mendelssohn and Max Bruch, the Quantum Clarinet Trio will also present two rediscoveries in our concert with Robert Kahn's Serenade and Carl Frühling's Trio. The composers selected are closely linked to Brahms through their life paths and musical language. Furthermore, both were directly affected by the ban on their music by the National Socialists due to their Jewish backgrounds, living a generation after Brahms. With "Beyond Brahms," the Quantum Clarinet Trio presented its highly regarded CD debut on hänssler CLASSIC.

Program
Carl Frühling (1868 – 1937)
Trio in A minor op. 40

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809 – 1847)
Three Pieces for Clarinet, Cello and Piano

Robert Kahn (1865 – 1951)

Peter und der Wolf

Theater con cuore

Children's theater with music for everyone aged 4 and up

Composer Prokofiev can somehow be pitied. He promised his godson Peter to compose a musical fairy tale, and then a nasty cold knocks him out of the running. With a dreadful snuffle and pounding headaches, no melodious tunes come to mind. Especially not when the old Beethoven keeps interrupting him. But chance in the form of two flies helps the poor composer, and he begins to hum the first notes. The beginning of "Peter and the Wolf" is made...
A suitcase that represents the world of the stage paired with artistically crafted puppets transports the audience into one of the most famous musical fairy tales of our time. An extraordinarily entertaining puppet theater piece delivers the artistic work and its sometimes quirky inspirations to the audience through a playful main actor.
Theater con Cuore is the married couple Virginia and Stefan Maatz. Both come from artistic families and have been in contact with theater and circus life since early childhood. In 2004, they founded Theater con Cuore together and have been traveling nationwide with their figures ever since.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Opera in two acts | KV 620
Libretto: Emanuel Schikaneder
Playing time: 140 min. including intermission

PRODUCTION TEAM
Puppet construction: Bernhard Leismüller
Puppet heads: Sebastian Demmel
Costume tailoring: Bernhard Leismüller
Set design: Bettina Hummitzsch
Direction, Dramaturgy: Ralf Hechelmann

STAGING
The production consciously eludes the countless interpretations that the work has undergone in its over two-hundred-year history. The Lindau Magic Flute takes place in a fairy-tale land. And this is not only because the fairy-tale genre deliberately employs logical breaks and paradoxes to enchant in the truest sense. Every viewer is allowed and encouraged to find and create their own story in the Magic Flute.

STAGE HISTORY
The premiere took place on September 30, 1791, at the Freihaus-Theater auf der Wieden - a Viennese suburban stage. As early as October 1791, the Magic Flute reached nearly twenty performances, and in the ensuing months, the Magic Flute continued to be successfully featured in the program of the Viennese stage. A year later, on October 25, 1792, it was performed with great success in Prague, followed by performances in Munich, in 1793 in Frankfurt a. M., and finally in Berlin and Weimar in 1794.

The children want to rock! HEAVYSAURUS are four dinosaurs and a dragon who bring rock music for the whole family to the stage - a real live experience with child-friendly lyrics and a bombastic show. In February 2024, a new album will be released, and the band will embark on a big "POMMESGABEL TOUR"!

Once again, HEAVYSAURUS offers powerful riffs, great melodies, and catchy drum beats that the little (or big) listeners can sing, dance, and go wild to as they please. Real rock music, sometimes wild, sometimes gentle, with lyrics made specifically for the littlest biggest fans. The first taste has already arrived with the single "Luna - unser Hund," with the next song "Flugsaurier" to follow at the end of July.

Four dinos and a dragon, with real instruments on a grand stage, featuring light shows, fog, showers of sparks, balloons, and confetti. And of course, with the songs that many kids (and parents) can already sing along to like "Kaugummi ist mega," "Stark wie ein Tiger," and of course "Rarrr," the battle cry of the dinos that many laughing mouths eagerly shout out loud. All five green-scaled musicians are also looking forward to finally playing new songs from the "POMMESGABEL" album.

Andreas Kümmert is THE blues-rock singer from Germany.
His distinctive voice and talent for creating goosebump-inducing songs are timeless.

Music has been Andreas Kümmert's language for as long as he can remember. In 2013, he achieved a breakthrough: with his original composition "Simple Man," Kümmert won the TV show "The Voice Of Germany." Since then, he has been on everyone's lips with his unique blues and soul voice and, unlike most participants in such TV formats, he has remained consistently successful.

In 2023, his victory celebrates its tenth anniversary – reason enough to once again take to the stages of the country with a brand new album.

Because: Kümmert has thoroughly used the past two pandemic years to work intensively on his new record with his two fellow musicians Stefan Kahne and Michael Germer. "I always thought that things must go on," he says. He remains strong, and it pays off.

Live, the audience can expect a true fireworks display of playing joy and musical talent. You can look forward to an energetic show featuring a cross-section of Kümmert's complete song repertoire. Goosebump-inducing moments are, of course, included as expected.

Stefan Kahne (Bass)
Michael Germer (Drums)
Andreas Kümmert (Guitar/Vocals)

A hidden place where happiness is explained?

The art collective AEK embarks on an adventurous excursion into the wondrous world of happiness with its 3rd art performance.

In the catacombs of the former Mogetissa baths, a quirky snapshot emerges. Visitors dive into a surreal world where happiness lurks in every corner, jumps out at you, stays silent, whispers, or screams. It seemingly has something to say when it shows itself. It wants to explain itself. It reveals its deepest secrets and scratches at the superficiality of its being.

Once again, the art collective weaves music, acting, language, light, and visual arts to fill the functional space of the former swimming facility with an immersive world full of deceptive and genuine moments of happiness.
