Carsten Hormes und Tony Kaltenberg in Beverungen: Duo begeistert mit Lieblingsssongs am Lieblingsplatz!

Am 10. Juli 2020 spielten Carsten Hormes und Tony Kaltenberg in Beverungen. Das Gebot der Stunde lautet im Moment: Wir bleiben zu Hause! Und wenn man deshalb selbst nicht zu seinem Lieblingsplatz gehen kann, muss der Lieblingsplatz eben nach Hause kommen! Deshalb besuchen Bassist Carsten Hormes (Künstlerischer Leiter im KulturBüro-OWL) und Tony Kaltenberg (Weltklasse-Gitarrist aus Oregon und jetzt zu Hause in OWL) in diesen Tagen ihre Lieblingsplätze und spielen dort ihre Lieblingslieder. Carsten Hormes und Tony Kaltenberg in der WDR Lokalzeit: Drei Mal spielten Carsten Hormes und Tony Kaltenberg in Beverungen bereits vor Publikum; im Korbmacher-Museum und in der Stadthalle. In Zeiten von Corona spielen sie einige ihrer Lieblingslieder an ihren Lieblingsplätzen zur Zeit ohne Publikum, unter dem Motto "Favorite songs at favorite places". So waren die Töne von Hormes und Kaltenberg zum Beispiel in der Benteler-Arena in Paderborn am Viadukt in Altenbeken, im Innenhof des Klosters Dalheim, in der Brauerei Strate in Detmold und im Paderborner Dom zu hören. "Wir sind an Orte gegangen, wo es immer auch einen persönlichen Bezug gibt, weil wir dort selber aufgetreten sind und jetzt, lahmgelegt durch das Berufsverbot, leider nicht spielen können", so Hormes. "Der harte Bruch vom Organisieren von Konzerten und davon, selbst oft und viel zu spielen, zu plötzlichem, komplettem Stillstand hat alles auf den Kopf gestellt. Read the full article

Tony Podesta Is Sixth Clinton-Linked Democrat to Be Granted Immunity — While Paul Manafort Rots in Prison for Same Crime

Paul Combetta, the computer specialist who deleted Hillary Clinton’s emails when they were under subpoena, was granted immunity by the Obama DOJ in September 2016.

Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton’s former chief of staff and attorney, received an immunity deal from the Justice Department during the year-long FBI investigation of Clinton’s server before she even testified.

John Bentel director of the State Department’s Office of Information Resources Management, was given immunity by the Obama DOJ.

Heather Samuelson, a senior Hillary Clinton adviser, was also given immunity agreements, bringing the total number of witnesses who were protected by deals to five.

Musical In the Heights at Hyde Park High School

In The Heights

Hyde Park High School, under the supervision of Danielle Bentel presents In the Heights, the musical, in conjunction with celebrating the 60th anniversary of Hyde Park High School.

The story is set over the course of three days, involving characters in the largely Dominican-American neighborhood of Washington Heights in New York City. The music and lyrics were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, who also wrote Hamilton, and the book was by Quiara Alegría Hudes.

This production was nominated for thirteen Tony Awards, winning four: Best Musical, Best Original Score, Best Choreography (Andy Blankenbuehler), and Best Orchestrations (Alex Lacamoire and Bill Sherman). It won a Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. It was also nominated for the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Danielle Bentel, the producer and co-director, chose this musical in order to expose the learners to as many of South Africa’s top musical theatre professionals across many spheres of the industry; from choreography, to directing through to the technical and backstage support.

“When I first heard about Lin Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights two years ago, I was taken by this rap meets salsa musical. This planted the seed as a possibility for the next Major Production. When I discovered that the next major Production fell in the same year as the school’s 60th anniversary, I decided that there was no better way to raise the bar on the cultural front, celebrate 60 years of holistic academic excellence and advance the learners than by premiering the show.”

Bentel has enlisted a team of phenomenal talent. The gorgeous musical theatre performer Stefania Du Toit who is co – directing, and also heads up the choreography for the show. Stefania will be assisted by the ever so talented Lesego Ramathare. The zesty Tony Award Winning score is musically directed by Matthew Vlok, with assistant Musical Director, Tate Mhunduru.

“The show is a colourful, refreshing and exuberant celebration of the daily lives of characters from all walks of life, yet despite the challenges and hardship that life throws at them they remain a close knit community. For me, Hyde Park High School is also a community joined together by 60 years of hard work, dedication and family values, living up to our motto – ‘Hyde Park, a great place to grow up’”, Bentel continues.

The show opens on the 3rd of May 2017 and ends on the 6th of May 2017. Performance starts at 19:00, two shows on Saturday, 6 May: 15:30 & 19:30. Tickets are R50 each. They can be bought through the school via info@hydepark.gp.school.za or awright@hydepark.gp.school.za where banking details will be provided for an EFT to be made, or they can be bought at the door.
