Adventszauber 2024

This year, for the 10th time, the "Advent Magic", the traditional church concert in the Cannstatt town church, will provide musical highlights. To mark this special anniversary, visitors can also look forward to a special anniversary program - some of the best that has been offered to visitors in ten years. And, as always, traditionally on the 1st Advent, which this year falls on December 1st. With top performers from the musical scene. First and foremost Jan Amman, who was a regular on the Stuttgart musical stages: his Count Krolock in "Dance of the Vampires" and his role in "Tarzan" are unforgettable. And at the Festspielhaus in Füssen, Jan Amman stands like no other for the ideal embodiment of Bavaria's fairytale king in the musical "Ludwig 2". Marc Gremm, who was born in Hochdorf, has also already shone as King Ludwig on the Füssen stage. Marc Gremm has now fulfilled his heart's desire and recorded a CD of his favorite songs, especially songs by Udo Jürgens, which he will perform at this year's Advent Magic. And as a highlight, there will be titles from Ralph Siegel's magnificent musical "Zeppelin" in a duet with Madeleine Haipt, who also celebrated great success on the Füssen musical stage. Among others in "Zeppelin" and "Ein bißchen Frieden". Antonia Bott on the grand piano and Zorana Memedovic on the violin contribute virtuoso live music, as do the brothers Ihsan (12 years) and Ihvan (9 years) Meral, who play four-handed on the grand piano together. Over the years, the "Advent Magic" has established itself as a musical highlight in the cultural life of Bad Cannstatt, organized and hosted by Sigfried Baumann, the former managing director of the Cannstatter Zeitung newspaper for many years.
