L'ESPÉRANCE

program

Is freedom just a dream? Is peace a utopia?
Can hope alleviate suffering?
Can friendship end a war?
Can love conquer hate?

Driven by longing and hope, we embark on a journey in search of a dream. Somewhere, freedom must be found. On the high seas? In distant ports? In long-forgotten childhood memories? In true love? Somewhere, between homesickness and wanderlust, we want to live for it. And we could die for it. For it is said that only where freedom is lived can peace prevail.

French singer Véronique Elling makes a strong musical statement with unforgettable masterpieces and newly discovered treasures from Aznavour, Barbara, Brel, Gréco, Montant, Moustaki, Piaf, Trenet… and some of her own compositions.

Singing in French, reading in German.

LaLi Jam & Open Stage

After the joyful musical get-together at three events since October 2025 it's time for the next installment:

Kulturmix in Langenhorn e.V. cordially invites all music lovers to the LaLi Jam & Open Stage! The LaLi Jam & Open Stage offers a platform for spontaneous jam sessions and an open stage where everyone interested can bring their instrument and participate.

The evening begins shortly after doors open (7:00 PM) with three combos or solo artists, each performing three songs in succession. This is followed by the jam session (approximately 8:30 PM to 11:00 PM). Improvisations are just as welcome in the jam session as interpretations of well-known songs – such as pop songs, folk classics, jazz standards, or blues classics. Or perhaps you'd prefer funk, soul, Latin, or reggae?

The goal is to encourage everyone to play and sing along. Whether you're a beginner, advanced, or a professional – the joy of making music together is the focus. Drums, a sound system for vocals, guitar and bass, microphones, and a keyboard are available.

Do you feel like joining in? Do you play an instrument or sing? Would you like to improvise or play specific songs – perhaps even your own compositions? Come on down!

Please note: The fixed slots on the Open Stage on May 30th 2026 are already booked.

What's always possible: Bring one or two songs and suggest them to the host and the other musicians and singers during the jam session for a spontaneous performance! It's best to bring song sheets and lyrics with you.

You can reach the host of the evening, Heiko Witt, at lali-jam@posteo.de.

Admission is free. Listeners are, of course, also welcome! A donation box will be set up for the event.

The venue is the beautiful hall in the LaLi Cultural Center, Tangstedter Landstr. 182a, Hamburg-Langenhorn. Take the U1 subway line to Langenhorn Markt or Langenhorn Nord, then bus 192 to Timmerloh.

Further dates: Fri. February 27th, Sat. May 30th, Sat. September 26th, Sat. October 24th

Lokstedt Klassik meets Melancholy and Fire

In this concert by Meggie Guerrini and Jannis Wichmann, the intimate and melancholic songs of John Dowland (1563–1626) are juxtaposed with Manuel de Falla’s (1876–1946) folkloric and richly colorful *Siete Canciones Populares*. Between Spanish passion and English melancholy, a vibrant dialogue unfolds across different eras and sound worlds. Solo works for guitar, including compositions by Iranian composer Golfam Khayam (*1983), provide further contrasts and open up new sonic perspectives.

Born in Brazil in 1987, singer Meggie Guerrini is distinguished by her stylistic versatility and subtle artistic expressiveness. After successfully completing her concert singing degree in 2018, she embarked on a career as a freelance artist and has since been involved in a wide range of musical projects. Alongside her concert work, she develops her own artistic concepts and brings them to life in performance, such as the song recital *Nächtliche Träume* (*Night Dreams*) in 2024.

Jannis Wichmann studied classical guitar at the University of the Arts Bremen (HiK Bremen) with Prof. Jens Wagner and subsequently received a scholarship from the Claussen-Simon Foundation as part of its stART.up program. The foundation also supported the production of his second studio album, *Field Recordings #Guitarworks*, which was presented at the Hamburg Guitar Days in 2021. Concert formats combining electronics, visuals, dance and field recordings, as well as his focus on works by women composers in both his artistic and research practice, demonstrate his broad, interdisciplinary approach.
