Puppetry and classical music: A concert for the whole family in Rothenklempenow!

There will be a very special musical performance in the small but beautiful Rothenklempenow on Sunday, July 6th at 4 p.m. The puppeteer Suse Waechter and the Aurum Ensemble Berlin will hold a concert in the church, which is part of the “Dorfkirche Sounds” concert series. This series, which is organized in cooperation with the Q village association, aims to bring the region's cultural diversity to life. Nordkurier reports that this event is a musical theater project that illuminates the manners and customs of European musical life in the 18th century.

What can visitors expect? According to Gertrud Ohse from the Western Pomerania Orchestra for Early Music, the concert is described as entertaining, strange, cheeky and smug. And how could it be otherwise: It brings the musical heroes of Viennese classical music to Sigmund Freud's couch. You can hear works by greats such as Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven. Paul Wranitzky, the once successful Viennese composer whose works have often been forgotten, is also particularly scrutinized, as critic Max Dietz notes.

A forgotten musical great

Paul Wranitzky, born in 1756, had a remarkable career that took him to the courts of Vienna. At the age of 20, he moved to the city to further his musical development. There he worked with big names such as Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven, among others, and composed numerous symphonies, operas and ballads. His most famous work, the Singspiel “Oberon, King of the Elves,” even influenced Emanuel Schikaneder, who would later write “The Magic Flute.” An exciting look at Wranitzky's life and work can be found at={ Interlude }.

Interest in Wranitzky's music is currently experiencing a comeback. Recently, new CD releases, such as the “Wranitzky Orchestral Works Vol. 5” with festive ballet music, were acoustically received with great enthusiasm. This disc makes his wealth of melodies and loving orchestration accessible again. The music is now available in stores and on digital platforms and will soon be available from the Wranitzky project accompanied in the form of free downloads of the sheet music.

Cultural impulses and free entry

The concert in Rothenklempenow is not only a homage to Wranitzky, but also a cultural event that brings people together. Admission is free and donations are requested to continue making such events possible. The combination of puppetry and classical music, enriched by knowledge of a forgotten composer, promises both entertainment and education for young and old.

On Sundays, the small church in Rothenklempenow becomes a place for cultural encounters that harmoniously combines old and new music. A visit is definitely worth it! Anyone who needs ancestors can look forward to a sounding Sunday.
