“Everything that breathes, praise the Lord” is the motto of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy’s “Lobgesang”. A nice reason to make music: No whining, no complaints, but praise and thanks for having made it out of the darkness into the light. The Potsdamer Kantorei and soloists will sing, accompanied by the New Potsdam Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Ud Joffe. The Brahms motet “Create in me, God, a pure heart” also sounds. On Saturday at 7.30 p.m. in the Church of the Redeemer, tickets for 20 / 25 euros also at the box office.
Everyone comes together for Grandpa’s birthday, everyone celebrates, the champagne flows. But the truth is – nothing is good. Daughter Linda has just committed suicide, which is why her twin brother Christian wants to reveal his perspective on the supposedly happy family in a speech. “Das Fest” (after “Festen” by Thomas Vinterberg and Mogens Rukov) has its premiere on Saturday at 7.30 p.m. in the Hans Otto Theater, tickets are available from 15.40 euros.
The bees are flying again
Now the bees are finally flying again, and what bees and the beekeeper have to do before the first honey is produced is something that children aged ten and older and adults can find out on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. from Volkspark beekeeper Michael Biontino in the Remisenpark. You can also look directly into a colony and see the bees crawling between the honeycomb walls. And there is a honey tasting. Participation in this short introduction to beekeeping costs 24 euros. Please register by email to: [email protected].
The green break on Sunday between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. is all about the wild bees: What is the difference to honey bees, how do they live in the Volkspark biotope and what do they live on? Admission is free here.
Sunday from 3 p.m. it’s all about homemade things in the Heilandskirche in Sacrow: the British guest organist Shaun Ward is a part-time master distiller and will combine organ works by JP Sweelinck, G. Böhm, JS Bach and E. Elgar thematically with whiskey production . A small tasting is also announced. Admission is free.
