The Borken district has celebrated half a century of successful existence! On October 5, 2025, numerous music lovers flocked to the Vennehof town hall to attend the concert by the Borken district orchestra and the district choir. Under the motto “With timpani and trumpets,” visitors experienced a musical journey through five decades of district history. The orchestra was led by André Baumeister, while Eva Maria Gröner led the choir into the highlights of the celebrations. The event not only highlighted the cultural diversity, but also the future prospects of Westmünsterland as a region with a strong lifestyle and economy.
The atmosphere at Vennehof was electric. The approximately 600 guests enjoyed a varied program that included both classical and modern pieces. These include “Olympic-Fanfare” by John Williams and “Forever Young” by Alphaville. Local compositions were also presented, such as the composition commissioned by the city of Borken for the city’s anniversary “Borken 800” by Guido Rennert. The choir thrilled with powerful vocal performances such as “We are moving into peace” by Udo Lindenberg, which was the heart of the concert.
