Tango Argentino – danced world cultural heritage concert and dance event with live music and DJ

A concert with musically particularly talented students from the music school.

The Bochum Symphony Orchestra commissions two or three compositions each year. This season, one of them is "Il Cenacolo" by the Bochum composer Stefan Heucke . Heucke, with whom the orchestra has worked on and off for many years, was inspired to create this work by looking at Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper": "The great unity of the mural at first glance (almost everyone has the painting in their mind's eye in large) made me spontaneously think of the solo cello and 12 violins - a sonically extremely homogeneous line-up that, however, allows for the possibility of multi-coloured differentiation in detail."

The mini strings and the song orchestra play a joint concert.

One day, the cheeky and naughty farm boy Nils is transformed into a gnome and, together with the white gander Marten, he joins a flock of wild geese and flies away. On this journey he experiences exciting adventures and discovers how beautiful his home country Sweden is. Will he manage to become a "normal" human boy again

“Nixon in China” was the first opera in the spirit of minimal music in 1987. Its composer John Adams, however, prefers to call himself a “maximalist” because he combines “minimalist” stylistic devices with many other things. He also used elements from his opera for the orchestral foxtrot “The Chairman Dances”. In the composer’s imagination, the Great Chairman Mao Zedong emerges from a picture portrait and dances several foxtrots with his wife – back to their shared past. Hollywood nostalgia is charmingly combined with insistent motor skills and a large percussion apparatus.

After a break of several years, we can finally celebrate again in a relaxed manner, with live music from band and orchestra members, soulful sounds and cocktails in the inimitable atmosphere of the church foyer in the Music Forum. During the subsequent dance with a DJ, the Music Forum is transformed into the most unusual party location in Bochum.
