Wladimir Kaminer enchants Aurich with music and readings at tidal concerts

A very special evening awaits this year's visitors Tidal Concerts in Aurich. The well-known author Wladimir Kaminer will perform a musical reading that is humorous and thoughtful about the topic of escape. Together with the talented pianist Lilit Grigoryan, he will take his listeners on a journey to “musical understanding” and illuminate the meaning of music.

Kaminer's performance on June 17, 2025 is already sold out, but there is a waiting list for those interested. Ticket prices range from 6 to 45 euros, depending on seat choice. An additional highlight of the evening will be a stroll through the beautiful landscape, which will take place before the concert and is dedicated to the Aurich hunters' association's fascinating little owl project.

The art of international understanding

Wladimir Kaminer, who became internationally known with his work “Russian Disco,” is not only a humorous storyteller, but also a profound thinker. In his new book“The Secret Life of the Germans”, which will be published in August, he devotes a chapter to the city of Aurich and the everyday hunting of nutrias. He draws surprising comparisons by comparing East Frisia with Japan in terms of the tea ceremony. These aspects will also be mentioned in his reading.

According to Kaminer, he sees music as a remedy for the suffering of humanity. He combines his humorous stories with musical interludes, with Russian music expected to play a central role. Together with Grigoryan, he designed a piano program that is seamlessly coordinated with the reading. “We intend to create a multifaceted and surprising evening,” explains Kaminer.

Hope beneath the tides

This year the tide concerts have the motto “Hope” and offer a total of 48 concerts from May 16th to July 12th. Artistic director Matthias Kirschnereit emphasizes the importance of music in these challenging times. The events include not only classical orchestral concerts, but also exciting formats such as “Men in Blech” and the musical theater “The Violas of Miranda”. The support from regional companies and private individuals contributes significantly to this cultural highlight, which makes the hearts of many music lovers beat faster.

The combination of Kaminer's wit and Grigoryan's musical ability promises an evening full of emotions and insights. To be experienced on June 17, 2025 in Aurich. If you would like to experience the topic of international understanding and the power of music, you should not miss the opportunity!
