Konzerte - Martinikonzert Nr. 51 - Special Guest: Chako Habekost

The Stadtkapelle Bad Dürkheim gives its Martinikonzert Nr. 51 on 8 November 2026 at 10:30 in the Salierhalle in Bad Dürkheim. The concert is titled "HEIMAT – Mehr als nur ein Ort" and is dedicated to the many different facets of Heimat.

The programme combines sinfonische Blasmusik with jazz and popular music. The special guest is the Mundart artist Chako Habekost, who leads through the concert and takes up the theme of Heimat through his view of people, language and regions. The Stadtkapelle performs under the direction of Julian Leopold.

The programme includes Rossano Galante's "Aurora Borealis", music from "How to Train Your Dragon" and a specially assembled Michael-Jackson-Medley. Trompeter Erik Leopold is heard several times as soloist; he takes the solo part in "Dahaam" by the österreichischen Komponisten Christian Mühlbacher and also appears in the Michael-Jackson-Medley, which includes "Human Nature" as a reminiscence of Miles Davis, whose 100th birthday falls in 2026. The JuSt music Jugend Stadtkapelle, under the direction of Anja Schmachtenberg, contributes its own programme item with the titles "Shallow" and the medley "Highlights From The Greatest Showman".
