J. Brahms “Gestillte Sehnsucht,” from op. 91, two songs
E. Domenech, Trio for Viola, Clarinet, Piano, World Premiere
M. Bruch, Eight pieces, op. 83

The particularly warm and soft-sounding blend of clarinet, viola, and piano has always inspired composers to let these instruments enter into dialogue.
Lisa Klotz (principal violist of the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg), Stefanie Brunner (deputy principal clarinetist of the Münchner Symphoniker), and pianist and composer Eric Domenech present to you true treasures of chamber music literature this evening. From W. A. Mozart’s graceful “Kegelstatt-Trio” to J. Brahms' contemplative song “Gestillte Sehnsucht” to M. Bruch’s “Eight Pieces,” a great musical diversity is offered. The concert will be rounded off with a trio composed for this occasion, featuring the freshness of a world premiere. Eric Domenech has drawn inspiration from the dark and warm sound of the viola and clarinet.

Admission: 18:15 Uhr

In the anniversary program 75 years of Stachelschweine "Ich hab´ noch einen Tesla in Berlin" by Frank Lüdecke and Sören Sieg, a vision of the future in the year 2029 is told.
The new Federal Chancellor Sahra Wagenknecht is increasingly under pressure as state debt progresses relentlessly.
The cheese roll costs 14 euros, BASF and Bayer have emigrated to Asia, VW and BMW belong to Tesla. The creditworthiness of the Federal Republic has been downgraded to BB, and half of the taxes go to interest payments.
Then the Federal Chancellor has an idea. With a single measure, she calculates, all her campaign promises can be financed: retirement from 55, free public transport, and a rent cap at the level of 1989. It is the "Secret Plan Berlin." The capital is to be sold as Germany's silverware. An electric car manufacturer, operator of voice messaging services, Mars rockets, and brain implants immediately makes a move...

For the 75th anniversary, DIE STACHELSCHWEINE present a program that elegantly combines black humor with Berlin calmness. When everything goes into a panic, we know: No one intends to sell Berlin!

Tell me, where have all the flowers gone... Memories of and from Marlene Dietrich

Marlene – icon of film history, vamp, and diva: It is always the same legends that are associated with the name Marlene Dietrich, ever since she set out to conquer the world as the blonde Venus from Berlin after her triumph as the chic Lola in the film "The Blue Angel" in the early 1930s, like a comet. This actress was more contradictory, modern, and uncompromising than any other Hollywood star. Yet what made this woman so extraordinary only becomes apparent when viewed in her time.

Marlene Dietrich wore trousers at a time when women faced physical punishment for doing so in public. She brought her child to Hollywood when being a mother spelled the end for an erotic film star. She resisted the siren calls of Hitler when many of her colleagues fell. And she began, at an age when others retired from the stage forever, a second career as a cabaret singer.

With her reading, Claudia Michelsen presents the life of a woman who systematically eluded grasp throughout her life and still poses riddles: How could she, whose lovers included Erich Maria Remarque, Gary Cooper, Jean Gabin, John F. Kennedy, and Yul Brynner, describe herself as not beautiful? After all, she had gained worldwide fame with her overwhelming erotic aura. Why did she doubt her acting abilities? And how could it be that this admired diva lamented loneliness throughout her life? In the books of her memoirs, Marlene Dietrich has answered these and other questions to give an unflinching account of her tumultuous life.

A hall that can't get enough of the storms of jubilation, the mood is boiling. There has been laughter, tears, horizons have been expanded, perspectives opened, and all of this in just two hours. That's Poetry Slam! The modern entertainment format combines the best of comedy, poetry, societal critique, lyrics, and slapstick, transforming every stage into a true spectacle of performing arts. And the best part: YOU, the audience, get to decide in this competition who you liked and what is more suited for the trash bin.

In addition, a special guest will even write a piece exclusively about the Olpe district and present it on the evening. The moderation will focus mainly on the Olpe district, showcasing fun facts and maybe even small quiz segments to show the audience: it doesn't always have to be the Ruhr area or Düsseldorf or Cologne.

In 2004, POEMS ON THE ROCKS, a formation from the Stuttgart area, brought a new music concept to the stage as one of the first in Germany: Rock music with German translations of English-speaking rock songs with depth, and their often cryptic content, provided many aha moments at concerts.
Actor JO JUNG, voice for ZDF, ARTE, and SWR, translates in lyrical form and recites with unique facial expressions and language. The powerful singer JÖRG KRAUSS and the four professional musicians deliver the captivating life groove to the songs.
The new program with 16 new songs is colorful and diverse: Songs by Pink Floyd, David Bowie, The Beatles, Kate Bush, CSN, Sting, Peter Gabriel, etc.

Doors open: 7:00 PM

Hot Times - The Menopause Revue

Four women meet at the airport, who have two things in common: Their flight to New York is delayed AND they are all going through menopause or are close to it.

At first glance, the four ladies seem as different as can be, but hot flashes, panic attacks, insomnia, and uncontrollable emotional outbursts quickly create a connection between them.

With plenty of winks and without inhibitions, the “Four Ladies in Hormonal Fury” share their suffering with each other to legendary pop and rock songs from the 70s to 90s with new German lyrics.

Here, the taboo subject of menopause becomes a comical-musical extravaganza of the highest class for all those directly and indirectly affected, for all those who have gone through it, will go through it, and their relatives.

The Orchester Vahlhausen Lippe-Detmold has been moving through the most diverse music genres in its performances for 65 years and showcases countless musical facets: It touches, entertains, and delights as a symphonic wind orchestra, impressing and fascinating through first-class solos, and highlights singing soloists who present their unique voices to the audience.

From Bach and Mozart to Andrew Lloyd Webber and Leonard Bernstein, and from Udo Jürgens, Herbert Grönemeyer, Tina Turner, to the Village People, all well-known composers and performers are represented in the orchestra's repertoire with their hits. Also, unknown musical treats repeatedly find their way into the annual program of the approximately 60 musicians aged 7 to 70 years.

In “Von Classic bis Pop,” the orchestra presents not only the highlights of the last season but also newly arranged songs that you will hear here for the first time. Thus, each concert offers new peaks and surprises.

Doors open: 6:30 PM

Written by Sophocles; by Bodo Wartke, Sven Schütze, Carmen Kalisch
with music by Bodo Wartke

What's up, Jocasta?

Told with just nine props, rapid role changes, and cabaret-style songs, the story of Oedipus, son of Laius, King of Thebes, is narrated. He unknowingly kills his own father. And later, as a reward for freeing Thebes from the Sphinx, he marries Jocasta, the king's widow and therefore his own mother. Bodo Wartke's excellent stage adaptation of the classic myth, which still has an impact today (Oedipus complex), is based on the work of Sophocles, one of the outstanding works of (theater) world literature of all time. King Oedipus offers an accessible entry into a rightfully famous mythical material and combines comedy and tragedy into a fantastic theatrical experience - making education fun.

The new program by Simon Stäblein is an absolute cheekiness. Just like this text!
Because the longer you read this text, the more you realize that it doesn’t actually provide you with any real information. It’s just a text saying that something is here - Because something has to be here! And even this trivial text was not written by an AI, but by a bored Simon Stäblein. But maybe Simon isn’t even a human, but an absolute cheekiness?! And if you’re already getting upset about this, you might as well not look at the program at all.

For everyone else – let’s f*cking go!

Doors open at 19:00

“The Times They Are a-Changin’” sang Bob Dylan, Chancellor Scholz spoke of a turning point, Wolf Biermann knew “Only those who change remain true to themselves.” And Lore and Harry? A lot has changed for them too. They have aged, their wild times are over, their Summer of Love has turned into late autumn. After all, despite all the adversities of free-spirited existence, they have managed to be married for more than 30 years. And that should stay that way now.

But how? The energetic Lore is passionately involved in the literary scene. The grumpy Harry, on the other hand, a retired building inspector, occasionally enjoys a wheat beer and lovingly tends to the delphinium in his garden. However, Lore fears that Harry might spend the rest of his life only lovingly tending to the delphinium in his garden and occasionally enjoying a wheat beer. So they tease each other through their days. Somewhat loving, while simultaneously getting on each other’s nerves.

But then something happens that brings the two back to pulling in the same direction: daughter Gloria is getting married. For the third time. And then to the snobby son of an “immobilien-dreckskerl,” as Harry puts it. But then he develops “a grim sense of fun about the whole thing” and sees it as “a refresher course for his old anti-capitalist fighting spirit.” So off to the wedding. In the old cord jacket, of course.

"A wonderfully flowing dialogue novel that ultimately weighs heavily. A stage-worthy capriccio." Mathias Schreiber, “Der Spiegel”

*Elke Heidenreich wrote the novel “Alte Liebe” together with her old love Bernd Schroeder, with whom she was happily married for a while. "We had twenty happy years, five brave, two dreadful, and now our peace," she once summarized in “Brigitte.” From the novel, she then created a play that is now being performed for the first time in Frankfurt.*

The duo LINA BÓ consists of Celina and Bó. They have been making music together for years. Lina Bó sees themselves as urban neo-flower children. Their songs are sometimes melancholic, sometimes danceable, full of joy and optimism. South American exoticism mixed with German folk pop reminds of the best times of ZAZ and Manu Chao. The band stands for peace and respect, against war and intolerance, for joy of life and hope. One of their shared passions is to travel and make street music. They have learned about many people, countries, cultures, and music styles through their travels and have written songs from these experiences. After the first single releases "Weiblich" and "Hallo Welt," television appearances and support shows followed with Jimmy Kelly's Street Orchestra, Anna R, Jamaram, and Santiano. In 2024, the debut EP "Lina Bó" was released. Their latest album will appear in October 2025.

First time, former "Anyway" DJ Uli (Heene) aka "DJ Rotten", who has also played at our Scheuernrock several times, provided a lovely time travel experience at our new format "Anyway Classix" with a mix of rock, alternative, indie, wave & electro from the 70s to today. Always danceable and always different. The well-known intersects with the new or even almost forgotten. No matter how, it definitely rocks.

After the light went on at Club 74 in Esch back then at 1 AM, we often drove to Anyway in Elz because it was open much longer there - and rocked through the night with DJ Uli!

DJ Uli has been active in the alternative DJ scene in the Limburg region for several decades and is known through various clubs and discotheques such as POCO / Wetzlar; Anyway / Elz; Kulturfabrik / Limburg; LOON / Heistenbach (Boogienights & Indie-Parties); Rockarena / Limburg (in the early days); Fabrik / Limburg
