    Johannes Motschmann Trio: Noctune - Handmade electronic music

    Sat., 11.04.25 at 10 pm in the foyer of the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle

    Johannes Motschmann is one of the very few musicians who "actually" come from new music and has managed to combine experimental aesthetics, 80s styles and grooving rhythms. Motschmann and his colleagues Boris Bolles and David Pranzl create music for the club from analogue instruments that also functions as "pure concert hall music" - and fascinates.

    DISCO: Dance into May - with the orchestra in the stairwell!

    Wed., 30.04.25 at 10 pm in the large hall (Großer Saal) of the Rudolf-Oetker-Halle

    Dancefloor instead of rows of chairs, disco ball instead of chandelier - dance into May with the orchestra in the stairwell! With DISCO, the Hanoverian ensemble transforms the concert hall into a club location. Acoustic orchestral instruments create vibrating beats - without a DJ booth. Specially composed tracks combine disco, house and techno. DJ sessions frame the evening and the party goes on into the night. A rare opportunity to really party at the Concert hall!
