the content

Dragons and humans have not always been enemies all over the world. In the small forgotten country of Pyromania, high up in a mountain range, dragons and humans live and work together peacefully. Almost all the dragons make themselves useful, only the young dragon Mo, who cannot breathe fire and is afraid of flying, is on a quest to find his destiny. When he finds his grandfather's magic trumpet in the garden, his search takes a decisive turn: Mo wants to become the first trumpet dragon of Pyromania! But who in Pyromania needs a trumpet dragon.

In a playful way, the human-dragon tale of Mo shows the healing power of music. It deals with questions about one's own calling and the desire for belonging and a place in the world. A great magic dragon adventure on the way Mo discovers his own abilities.

It's hard to believe: in May 2025, the jazz festival will take place in the Tischlerei for the 5th time and illustrious programmes and stars of the jazz scene will join forces. Experience Handel's music as the perfect template for improvised jazz (5, 6 May). The fantastic guitarist Josho Stephan plays a tribute to Django Reinhardt (7, 8 May), the unforgettable songs that originated on the Motown Records label are interpreted by Worthy Davis on 9 May and Mette Nadja Hansen lends her voice and bends her knee to the incomparable Ella Fitzgerald and The Count (10, 11 May). Two concerts for children aged between 4 and 7 about the "magic dragon Mo", the first trumpet dragon in Pyromania, will conclude the festival on 11 and 12 May.

Adventskalender im Foyer: Das 4. Fensterchen

Today in the Rang-Foyer on the right: ‘Liederkreis op.39 by Robert Schumann’
with Kieran Barrel (tenor) and Pauli Jämsä (piano),
5 p.m. / Rang-Foyer on the right
Duration: approx. 25 minutes / Free

This afternoon, as part of the Advent calendar, our ensemble member Kieran Carrel (tenor) and pianist Pauli Jämsä will enchant us with one of Robert Schumann's most important song cycles, the ‘Liederkreis op.39’. This cycle by Schumann consists of twelve settings of poems by Joseph von Eichendorff. It was written in 1840, which also went down in Robert Schumann's biography as his ‘song year’. During that year, he composed about half of his entire song oeuvre. The twelve poems tell a story that ranges from loneliness and melancholy to sweeping descriptions of nature – as in the popular song ‘Mondnacht’ (Moonlit Night) – and on to romantic declarations of love. Schumann also referred to the work as his ‘probably most romantic’ and, with a strong autobiographical motivation, reflects the difficulties that he and his future wife Clara Wieck had to endure in their fight for marriage. However, against the will of his future father-in-law and after a long legal process, there was a positive turn of events, which is reflected not least in the abruptly joyful conclusion in the ‘Frühlingsnacht' (Spring Night) of the ‘Liederkreis Op.39’ with the jubilant words ‘She is yours!’
