Cultural Evening 2016

Students present a varied program

The performers at this year’s Cultural Evening were treated to enthusiastic applause from the large audience.

The “Speech” section featured both thoughtful prose and entertaining scenes. These were:

• the speeches addressed to adults by Lea Lessing, Tessa Deusing, Abdallah Jaber, and Raphael Hettche,
• the mystery story reading featuring texts from 7th grade,
• “Letters to Trees and Clouds” by the Theater Club for Grades 5–6 and
• The Loriot Scenes from the Q3 Drama Class.

The musical lineup was surprisingly diverse, ranging from chamber music to Syrian hip hop to well-known international classics. The program included:

• the energetic performance by the Bremerhaus Band,
• the piece “Africa” by the Chamber Music Club and
• Two Schlager classics from the WU: Songs and Stories from Around the World.

The natural sciences department showcased its cultural side. The program included:

• The dramatic reenactment of the invention of nylon thread by the Q3 Chemistry class.

The students from “Sound & Light,” led by Sam Kempkes, ensured that the event ran smoothly.
