With Colosseum on Thursday, November 12 (7:30 p.m. at the Kulturscheune) , the “dinosaurs” of rock music history are coming to town: A collective of incredibly virtuosic soloists who nevertheless deliver a cohesive, compact sound and remain musically innovative across their various lineups. The double album “Colosseum Live” can certainly still be confidently described today as a gem in the history of rock.
Known as “the female Carlos Santana,” the “Blues in the Church” series continues with Vanesa Harbek (Friday, November 13, 8:00 p.m., Kniestedter Church).

Just one day later (Saturday, November 21) , the festival continues with groovy, danceable jazz: York & Band ft. Ulita Knaus will perform at the Kulturscheune in Lebenstedt (7:30 p.m.).

Children of all ages can look forward to the play “Don’t Talk When the Moon Is Full” on Sunday, November 8(3:00 p.m. at Kniestedt Church).
About the story: How many times has the princess heard her father say, “Child, you don’t talk with your mouth full”? But Princess Lora would rather hear what she wants to hear. And anyway, all those “don’t do this, don’t do that” instructions really get on her nerves. Lora wants to go on adventures and discover the world outside the castle walls. An exciting journey begins through a fairy-tale land filled with dwarves, a witch, the giant child Mariese, and all sorts of friendly—and not-so-friendly—creatures.
