As part of the program accompanying the exhibition "C'est la vie! Parisian Bohème - Albert Weisgerber, Hans Purrmann, Rudolf Großmann" at the Museum Purrmann-Haus, there will be a musical reading with the actor Norbert Franck and the two cellists Isabel Eichenlaub and Maren Pardall on Thursday, November 27, 2025 at 7 pm.
The event in cooperation with the Music School of the City of Speyer invites you on a journey to Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. To this day, Parisian bohemia exudes an incomparable magic. Here, art was combined with joie de vivre, freedom and tolerance. In studios, cafés, private salons and variety theaters, new paths were forged - beyond all conventions. Albert Weisgerber, Hans Purrmann and Rudolf Großmann also threw themselves into this adventure. The recollections of the three painters, presented by Norbert Franck, revive the fascinating atmosphere and timeless magic of the metropolis around 1900. In the circle of Henri Matisse, the three friends experienced the inspiring atmosphere of the international avant-garde. This journey to Paris is brought to life musically by Isabel Eichenlaub and Maren Pardall. The virtuoso sounds of the cellists reflect the unique energy of the city and the impressions and experiences of the three artists. Once again, the visual arts, the art of music and the art of words will enter into an exciting dialog at the Museum Purrmann-Haus.
Reduced ticket with the Museums-Pass-Musées: €8
Admission to the concert entitles you to visit the special exhibition, which is open from 11 a.m. on the day of the event until after the end of the concert.
