Boomers—they’re not garden furniture or endangered stuffed animals, but millions of people born around 1960.  They came into the world with chubby cheeks and roaring with joy: people of extraordinary attractiveness and intelligence, impressive sharpness of mind, inexplicable empathy, and robust passion! BOOOM! They live carefree lives, love to laugh, frequently attend cabaret shows, are forward-looking, and responsibly enjoy their seemingly endless lives. Lars Reichow—a quintessential boomer himself—points the finger at the largest and most powerful group in our society. Colorful wordplay meets a black concert grand piano. Prosperity meets decadence; impatience and stubbornness meet immortality. Where others have run out of words, Reichow lets melodies speak. On velvet paws, he leads his audience toward optimism, dreaming of a Germany full of happy people riding on punctual trains with strong Wi-Fi. A musical and rhetorical roller-coaster ride—sensitive in tone, uncompromising in substance—Reichow hums his way toward the end of the fossil fuel era. A final standing ovation, and then it begins: the symphony of life. Welcome to BOOMERLAND. A fun evening in major and minor keys. Dare to embrace more transformation—on the keyboard of sophisticated entertainment. Reichow’s Boomerland—a celebration of artistic freedom—for democrats only!

### New Year's Concert The most beautiful compositions of the Strauss dynasty  The Hungarian Chamber Philharmonic was founded in 1999 by Professor Antal Barnás. It consists of members from the leading orchestras in Budapest and Győr. Within a short period, the ensemble has gained an excellent reputation throughout Europe and has now become a permanent fixture of the European cultural scene. Under the direction of Antal Barnás, the orchestra has developed into a musical body of the highest artistic level. It has performed, among others, with the Vienna Boys' Choir at the Vienna Musikverein and regularly appears at renowned festivals as well as in significant concert halls across Europe.  Annually, the Hungarian Chamber Philharmonic goes on New Year's concert tours through Austria, Germany, and Switzerland with Antal Barnás. Furthermore, the ensemble has performed in prestigious venues such as the Berlin Philharmonic, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein, the Vienna Concert Hall, and the Salzburg Festival Hall. It has also appeared in the Munich Prinzregententheater as well as in Dresden, Nuremberg, and many other cities.

Hans Albers was more than just the cliché of the singing sailor: As the greatest male UFA star, he stands alongside Marlene Dietrich and the Comedian Harmonists. His singing style inspired Udo Lindenberg, Rio Reiser, and Herbert Grönemeyer. His authentic, direct acting style shaped German sound film like no other. His role in Third Reich films was controversial, equally needed and hated by “Dr. Goehhhbels,” as Albers mockingly called the propaganda minister. A whirlwind journey through a life of light and shadow, featuring well-known songs such as “Komm auf die Schaukel, Luise,” “Hoppla, jetzt komm ich,” and “La Paloma.” But Dirk Wittun and Wolfgang Völkl also unearth lesser-known musical gems from the depths of Albers’s musical ocean. Trailer: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MTsFT7HHt4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MTsFT7HHt4) The Artists: Dirk Witthuhn is an actor, singer, musician, songwriter, and musical theater writer—and a master of comedy. He has been successfully touring Germany for many years with his Hans Albers evening alongside musician Wolfgang Völkl. “A mature acting performance, complemented by skillful musical accompaniment on a wide variety of instruments, ranging from the double bass and ukulele to the bush drum.” Kölner Stadtanzeiger

### ... Men's Dreams of an Italian Swabian 46 years of comedy experience - Roberto Capitoni's 9th solo comedy program has it all: "60 is the new 40"... Men's dreams of an Italian Swabian. Because the best years come after the good ones, and neither the dinosaurs nor the inhabitants of Pompeii could claim that. Are the good years really sex, drugs & rock 'n' roll? Or rather public pools, ice cream, and fries? When he was young, 60 was already old, like really old. Today one thinks: Tom Cruise, Campino, Jim Carrey, and Roberto Capitoni, all over 60? Is it the new titanium hip, Viagra, or the good care of the wives? Daily countless offers, all landing in the spam folder, from guaranteed weight loss to relief from prostatitis to varicose vein products, don't help Roberto in this case either. So what does one do now? Skin creams or just Botox? He realizes that the invitations to milestone birthdays are decreasing just as the funerals are increasing. Moreover, he is just about to get a discount on train rides, which is rather advantageous for a half Swabian. The daily look into the pharmacy review or the preliminary pension statement makes him oscillate between fits of laughter and despair. But Roberto wouldn't be Roberto if he didn't have a few simple tricks up his sleeve to seem young again. At least for a short time. Want an example? Juice and blue curacao mixed, take a sip, turn on a record, close your eyes, and suddenly you're 17 again dancing in the disco. On Roberto's bucket list, or as the Germans say, "spoon list," there would never be a bungee jump, because he wou
