Lecture: Understanding Learning Difficulties – Strengthening Children (Dyscalculia & LRS) Numbers and language are among the important building blocks of basic education and encounter us every day – when shopping, reading, writing, planning, and learning. Confident handling of these fundamental skills is crucial for academic success, career prospects, and social participation. But for some children and young people, these very areas pose a major challenge. Many children have significant difficulties dealing with numbers or with reading and writing. These problems are often hastily interpreted as a lack of effort or talent. Yet dyscalculia (difficulty with arithmetic) or LRS (reading and spelling difficulties) may be present – partial academic learning disorders that significantly hinder the acquisition of these important building blocks of basic education and can have far-reaching effects on self-confidence, motivation, and social participation. The lecture offers an accessible insight into current findings from the research project “Rechnerisch Anders” at HAWK University of Applied Sciences and Arts and broadens this perspective to include LRS. The focus is on the question of how the acquisition of these central building blocks of basic education can be better understood and supported. It becomes clear that learning difficulties are not only subject-related problems, but can also have emotional and social consequences for children and their families. Children who find it difficult to acquire these fundamental skills need above all understanding, targeted support, and posit

For over two decades, The Ballroom Shakers have been delighting audiences live. Captivating, authentic, and fresh, they dust off the music of the 40s and 50s and bring it to the stage with virtuosic authenticity. Few bands move so deftly and confidently in the tension between the closing Swing era and the dawning Rock ’n’ Roll age. In addition, with singer Roberta Collins from Detroit (USA), the Ballroom Shakers gain a grand dame of R&B who, with wit, soul, charisma, and above all her magnificent voice, brings the great days back to life. With saxophonist Angelika Traurig, there is also a woman on board who really heats up the male trio of Kusche, Schmidt, and Hirschmann. Effortlessly, the Ballroom Shakers manage to transport the style, power, elegance, and dynamism of the genre into the present. This is not a retro troupe of lookalikes at work, but a band that searched, tasted, and sampled long and intensively in the great wine cellar of music, in order to bring only the finest drops to the stage. With Roberta Collins, the Ballroom Shakers are now undoubtedly close to perfection, and all fans of American music from the wild 40s and 50s should not miss this live experience.

In London and New York, this gripping and extraordinary theatrical experience was rightly celebrated. Tony Award winner Simon Stephens has written a radical new version of the masterpiece "Uncle Vanya" — for a single actor. Chekhov's story is both hilariously funny and painfully tragic: it is about how people deal with one another, shaped by fear, embarrassment, and indifference, but also by compassion and loving devotion. It is about the hope for redemption and the dream of a little happiness. And our choices determine whether, in the end, regret or love remains. What does it actually mean to be human in these macabre times? Oliver Mommsen plays all the roles in the play. In the process, a closeness develops between actor and audience that allows for a deep dive into the human psyche. Audience and artist become a conspiratorial community. An evening full of dark humor that you won't soon forget!

### Meta Hüper The tall blonde, who as always takes the stage in 1920s style with tuxedo trousers, suspenders, and a hat, takes us on a journey through musical daydreams, sobering truths, great hopes, and happy coincidences. Effortlessly, she switches between singing and violin, and sometimes boldly picks up the singing saw. With her voice and various instruments, she flies full of fervor and passion through a wide range of genres. But what remains the morning after? Nothing but mere memories of what has passed? The songs of the great Hilde Knef must not be missing when answering this question, just as little as Grieg's Morning Mood or Billie Holiday's Good Morning Heartache. Morricone's Once Upon a Time in the West gets under the skin just as much as Piazzolla's Regreso al amor (Return to Love). In the end, one promising realization remains: Even during the day there is no reason to be bored - after the night comes before the night!

The twenties of the last century are, in retrospect, regarded as an immensely intense period in a politically and economically challenging situation. The English and French terms “Roaring Twenties” and “Années folles” capture further facets of this decade, whose diversity is portrayed in this recital program. For example, one can relive the spirit of the youth of the time in Poulenc’s “Hôtel” (“Je ne veux pas travailler, je veux fumer” – “I don’t want to work, I want to smoke”) or experience Dadaism in sung form in Satie’s “Ludions,” while Roger Quilter is a representative of English national music. The political currents of the society of that time repeatedly emerge in the song texts and the composers’ biographies. While Hans Pfitzner was revered by conservatives before the Third Reich as a nationally minded German composer and expressed anti-modernist and antisemitic views in his writings, in Nazi Germany he was only a marginal figure. Erich Wolfgang Korngold also did not compose in a modern style, but had to leave Austria in 1938. Hanns Eisler composed his randomly found “newspaper clippings” as a protest against bourgeois concert lyricism and as an expression of the working class, which often lived precariously in the large cities. Monika Abel and Kathrin Isabelle Klein, nominated in 2025 for the German Record Critics’ Award, take the audience musically back to this era.
