The High Art of Minimalism - With his blues, roots, rock and ballads, and through his unmistakable sound over decades of international touring, the virtuoso Canadian guitarist/singer/songwriter Marty Hall has developed music into his own high art form of minimalism - his trademark. With countless performances on Europe’s and Canada’s greatest cultural stages, the aesthete Marty Hall is among the musicians who manage to captivate their audience from the very first bars. His repertoire includes deeply emotional original compositions such as “Precious Love,” “Swirlin’ Round And Round,” “Center Lane,” as well as very personal interpretations of 20th-century blues and roots classics by Willie Dixon, Freddie King, Jimmy Reed and B.B. King.

GO FOR IT! The satirical year-in-review 2026 On Sunday, November 29, 2026, at 5:00 p.m., it will be that time again: Bernd Gieseking will appear at the Parkhotel zum Stern. A promoter recently said: “For me, the old year is only truly over once Bernd Gieseking has looked back on it on my stage!” For 33 years now, Gieseking has been touring with this special program. He is a cabaret artist and writer, a gifted storyteller, but also a precise satirist and a master of the comic. Throughout the year, Gieseking keeps records, writes things down, notes, analyzes, and comments. In the end, it adds up to 90 minutes of political cabaret, but not only that. It is a unique mix of major politics and personal experiences, with self-ironic reflections alongside found material. He spots seemingly minor trifles and turns them into something big and unforgettable. Gieseking writes it all down, from January to December, and crowns a face of the month each time, sometimes as homage, sometimes as accusation. Politics, society and culture, media and the press provide him with the cues for verbal wit and comedy, for grotesque logic and playful nonsense. And once again, Gieseking is the reliable chronicler in the chaos of the times. Go for it! Tickets cost €18.00 and are available only in advance at the Parkhotel zum Stern in Oberaula. Admission starts at 4:30 p.m. More info: [www.bernd-gieseking.de](http://www.bernd-gieseking.de)

THE FROG KING by the Brothers Grimm Dramatic-musical reading with music by theater 3 hasen oben An actress and an actor slip into the roles of the famous fairy-tale classic, The Frog King. The story is told of two protagonists who find themselves in a seemingly hopeless situation: the prince who is trapped in a frog skin, and the princess who drops her favorite toy into a deep well. Behind this little story, however, lie many, many great stories of life: of the fear of not belonging of the fear of making mistakes of loneliness of the longing for change of love and rejection. Above all, though, The Frog King is a fairy tale about the miracle of transformation, and with this element, which is theatre’s very own, the two performers play, create, transform, and entice themselves and their audience. On Sunday, December 6, 2026, theater 3 hasen oben will be guests at KulturKirche Oberaula. The performance, suitable for children aged 4 and up, begins at 3:00 p.m.; admission from 2:30 p.m. Admission is free for children and young people under 18; adults pay €10.00. Tickets available only at the box office. Performers: Silvia Pahl and Klaus Wilmanns from theater 3 hasen oben

It was supposed to be such a lovely afternoon. The duo Bremerich-Broneske invites you to a romantic song program, and now this: the pianist is sitting at the piano. The singer is standing beside herself. Romance? Not a trace. In the storm of love, the two musicians rush through musical tides and borderline states that every woman knows in one way or another. And who is to blame?!? Get to the point, Ms. B.! An amusing program full of biting wit, polished verbal sparring, subtle humor, and a generous dose of passion. An afternoon concert with chansons by Friedrich Hollaender, Theo Mackeben, Charles Aznavour, Max Raabe, Element of Crime, with songs from operetta, musical theater, 90s pop, and a little bit of schlager.

With the new album “An Island in Turmoil,” Der Ramschladen will come to KulturKirche Oberaula on Valentine’s Day. The band combines poetic German-language lyrics with singer-songwriter music and a pinch of rock. Following the debut album “Acoustic Poetry,” the new album continues the band’s distinctive style: sometimes thoughtful and quiet, sometimes powerful and stirring. The versatile instrumentation creates special tonal colors and invites the audience to sing along, listen, and lean back and relax. The concert matinee on Valentine’s Day is aimed at everyone who appreciates handmade music, poetic lyrics, and surprising sound combinations.
