The pandemic has hit culture hardest.

But artists and organizers do not back down.

"Our village" in Weßling offers a varied cultural program again - and celebrates 20 years of culture in the parish barn.

Weßling

– Without the Weßlinger Pfarrstadel none of this would have been possible.

Around 1890, hay was still stored in the old barn, which was later to give way to residential development.

Luckily, the barn is still there today, has been listed, restored and, thanks to the “Unser Dorf” association founded in 1999, has been used by top-class artists since 2002.

One of the women from the very beginning is Brigitte Weiß, who is not frightened by a pandemic.

Therefore, the anniversary of culture will be properly celebrated in the Pfarrstadel this year, from June 23rd to 26th with a ceremony and an exhibition.

Title: 20 Years of Culture – 20 Years of Wessling Artists.” There will also be three exciting concerts.

Of course, events start much earlier.

This coming Saturday, April 23, at 7:30 p.m., the Ensemble Vielsaitig (we reported) will kick things off with world music on more than 150 strings.

On Sunday, May 15, 7 p.m., Andreas Martin Hofmeir will be a guest with his program “No effort”.

At his side: jazz pianist Tim Allhoff.

Hofmeir is an exceptional musical talent.

He plays tuba, won the Klassik-Echo as instrumentalist of the year and teaches as a professor at the Mozarteum in Salzburg.

He is also a founding member of the cult band La Brass Banda.

He founded the ensemble European Tuba Power with four of the best tubists in Europe and plays as the lead instrumentalist in his own jazz band.

In the Weßlinger Pfarrstadel he chats about his life as a tuba player and world traveler - epic,

Amélie Haidt (guitar, vocals), Anna Emmersberger (bass, Moog, vocals), Johannes Rothmoser (drums) and Juri Kannheiser (synthesizer, vocals) will be guests on Friday, June 24, 7.30 p.m. in the Pfarrstadel and will open the anniversary weekend with music.

"Amelie//23 Karat is urban pop, not pure gold, but real," says the announcement somewhat cryptically.

One day later, on Saturday, June 25, at 7:30 p.m., the Irish folk band Ceolan will be on stage with Mick Dörle (vocals, percussion, guitar), Antin Piening (vocals, electric bass), Jochen Scheuren (violin). , beaked flute) Edi Schorer (vocals, mandolin, banjo, lute, guitar) Walter Weissenberger (vocals, concertina, accordion, mandolin, banjo, guitar).

The instrumentation speaks for itself.

On Sunday, June 26, at 11 a.m., pianist Wolfgang Leibnitz and actor and speaker Peter Weiß can be seen at the end of the anniversary weekend in the Pfarrstadel.

"Franz Schubert: The lonely genius, the quiet rebel, the unhappy lover..." is the title of the matinee.

"I'm still here" - this is the title of the Stefan Noelle Quartet opening the autumn season on Sunday, September 25, at 7:30 p.m.

Together with Max Braun (bass clarinet/alto flute), Adrian Reiter (electric guitar) and Wilbert Pepper (double bass), Noelle devotes herself to what is happening in the world with a clear voice and subtle irony.

The ensemble "Maxjoseph" offers on Sunday, October 23, 7.30 p.m., "New Folk Music in the Pfarrstadel.

Georg Unterholzner (guitar), Andreas Winkler (Styrian harmonica), Josef Steinbacher (Styrian harmonica) and Florian Mayrhofer (tuba) soften traditions in order to develop new ideas and forms.

The horn trio Hilscher-Binder-Clemente gets in the mood for the dark season on Saturday, November 19th at 7:30 p.m.

Uta Hielscher (piano), Andreas Binder (horn) and Peter Clemente (violin) play works by Mozart, Chopin and Brahms.

The 42nd Advent carol singing on Sunday, November 27th, 4 p.m. in the Heilig-Kreuzkirche Oberpfaffenhofen concludes the cultural program 2022.

"We try to offer something to everyone in the program," says Brigitte Weiß.

Of course, she observes that people are "still on the brakes" when buying tickets.

"All organizers are currently experiencing that." Some people are extremely cautious.

"We still say: We're going to start now, that's important for the artists who come along on their gums after the pandemic." The culture was completely cut off.

“That was the part that was easiest to block.” There were no infections in the cultural sector, “we would have noticed that”.

She just really hopes that people will pick themselves up again.

This is less of a problem for big names because the tickets for the Pfarrstadel are cheaper than in Munich.

"But that's difficult for lesser-known artists." But Weiß doesn't want to slow down.
