LIVE PERFORMANCES COMING UP:

“Girl, whistle for the prince” – fairy tale reading.
Hildegard Offele-Aden and Tania Pentcheva invite you to a musical afternoon. It is about strength and courage, cleverness and humor, beauty and love – about brave women who make their fortune.
In the cozy atmosphere of the Ahlen Museum of Local History, you will hear tales of strong women from various places around the world. These female personalities are not always well-behaved, quiet and patient. They actively take their destiny into their own hands.
The fairy tale texts are musically accompanied and framed by Tania Pentcheva’s brilliant and sensitive guitar playing.

“Magical Places of the World”
Heimatmuseum Deele, Wilhelmstr. 12, 59227 Ahlen
The new musical-literary project “Magical Places of the World” takes you on a world trip of a special kind.
The writer Hildegard Offele-Aden (Ahlen) has written impressive lyrical texts for four places with an extraordinary mystical aura:
- for the romantic “Green Tunnel of Love” in the Ukraine
- for the legendary Baobab trees in East Africa
- for a wish-fulfilling dreamy island in the Slovenian Bledersee and
- for the mysterious Crater Lake in Oregon in the USA
With her artful and sensitive musical interpretation of compositions from Canada (Dale Kavanagh), Mexico (Simone Iannarelli) and Italy (Carlo Domeniconi), Tania Pentcheva (Münster) contributes to the international magical world trip on the guitar.
The two performers have already demonstrated a successful interplay of literature and music at several events. In this project, too, sounds and words are finely tuned to each other.
The entertaining and varied listening experience is supported by aesthetic photos and short film sequences about the selected places.
