Ensemble "Forgotten Notes"The wonderful chamber music series "Forgotten Notes" was conceived by Benno Ure and Marietta Kratz. For many years, Benno Ure has been researching the fates and works of forgotten composers in adventurous ways. The high quality of these musical works, which have been unjustly forgotten, is astonishing. They are performed by a top-class ensemble. Benno Ure's presentations are informative and exciting, amusing and touching. The program "Love, Shots, Madness" deals with moments that change life. The "Ensemble Forgotten Notes" bridges the gap between the drama of events and the power of music: love that strikes like lightning, shots in war, and the madness after great disappointment. Works by Karl Goldmark, Hans Pfitzner, Louis Vierne, Alberic Magnard, Leone Sinigaglia, and Alexander von Zemlinsky will be performed. Benno Ure, author of the book "Wie Mozart in die Kugel kam" (How Mozart Got into the Chocolate)Marietta Kratz, violin, deputy concertmaster of the NDR Elbphilharmonie OrchestraValentin Priebus, cello, NDR Elbphilharmonie OrchestraHenning Lucius, piano, pianist and highly sought-after chamber music partner

Jan-Christof ScheibeDo you like improv theater, poetry slam, and music? Then this evening is just right for you! The Hamburger Abendblatt wrote about HITKITCHEN: "The request concert of improv spirit and wit turns into a party. You decide what is played here!"Scheibe sets to music everything the audience hands him on stage. A newspaper headline, a recipe for cough syrup, or a toaster's instruction manual are transformed into rapping and swinging songs.A tailor-made song for a listener's life situation? No problem! A love song for a lady in the audience? Voila! A hit like "You'll Never Walk Alone" as a reggae, country song, or in a Kirchentag version? Done! A mix of "Rote Rosen aus Athen" and "Highway to Hell"? Good idea!For Scheibe, the evening is only a success when the hall sings along, drums along, grooves along.Jan-Christof Scheibe had his first big appearance at the age of ten in the "Peter Alexander Show." He is a pop musician, music producer, film score composer, songwriter, arranger, and theater composer. With the "Heaven Can Wait Choir," which he founded, he fills large halls.In this sense, the son of a church musician and choirmaster is a playboy of the finest kind!

Naomi InoueA new collaboration connects us with the choir "Die Alstersingers," founded in 2023. The choir has its roots in a voice training course at the VHS in Haus Alstertal. Under the direction of Naomi Inoue, the group has set a new, ambitious goal after their successful debut in Poppenbüttel in February 2026: a cappella singing.The choir is currently on an exciting musical journey, exploring the sound worlds of early music and musicals through the power of voices.The highlight of the evening will be a medley from Les Misérables – one of the most impressive works of musical theater. The music tells of human destinies, of suffering and injustice, but also of hope, courage, and the strength of community. Between quiet despair and dawning confidence, a soundscape unfolds that touches the soul.A particular challenge lies in telling the dramatic story of Les Misérables without staging, solely through the emotional power of the voices – as a poignant expression of "Voices of Hope."Naomi Inoue – Choir DirectionNaomi Inoue is a trained concert singer and certified vocal pedagogue. She directs the "Alstersingers" choir course at the VHS-Haus Alstertal and also works as an educator at a music school.

Jens WawrczeckBy Jack Trevor StoryNo fewer than three people insist on having committed the murder: A quirky captain claims to have shot him, a distinguished lady beat him to death with her shoe, and his ex-wife with a milk bottle. No one is really sorry for Harry. The supposed murderer trio decides to make the annoying corpse disappear in the woods, and hectic activity breaks out in a hitherto quiet English town – pitch-black British humor.Brilliantly and with a twinkle in his eye, accompanied by Natalie Böttcher on the accordion.Jens Wawrczeck's enthusiasm for Alfred Hitchcock also extends to the literature "behind the films." In his stage program "Hitch and I," he reads from the novels, short stories, and plays that provided the material for Hitchcock's thrillers. Together with various musicians, the vocal artist brings the stories to life on stage – so impressively and grippingly that you won't miss the film images for a second."Jens Wawrczeck knows how to create suspense through language," wrote the "Hamburger Abendblatt" in a review. "Thanks to his linguistic artistry, everyone in the audience is on the edge of their seats, hoping for the resolution... Goosebumps!"
