Music festival for the 50th anniversary: Borken celebrates with timpani and trumpets!
The district of Borken celebrated half a century of successful existence! On October 5, 2025, numerous music lovers flocked to the Vennehof town hall to attend the concert of the Borken district orchestra and the district. Under the motto "With timpani and trumpets", visitors experienced a musical journey through time through five decades. The orchestra was led by André Baumeister, while Eva Maria Gröner led the choir to the highlights of the celebrations. The event not only illustrated the cultural diversity, but also the future prospects of the Westmünsterland as a life and economic region.
The atmosphere in the Vennhof was electrifying. The approximately 600 guests enjoyed a varied program that contained both classic and modern pieces. This is how “Olympic-Fanfare” by John Williams and “Forever Young” by Alphaville. Local compositions, such as the order composition of the city of Borken on the city anniversary "Borken 800" by Guido Rennert, were presented. The choir delighted with vocal performances such as "We move to peace" by Udo Lindenberg, which made the heart of the concert.
Upcoming concerts
However, the cheering celebrations are not over! Another concert will take place on October 26, 2025 in the cultural square in Ahaus. Admission to the concerts begins at 17 euros per person and tickets can conveniently online at www.kreisorchester-borken.de be ordered.
The district orchestra and the district choir not only act as cultural ambassadors for the region, but also contribute to social cohesion and identity formation within the Borken district. This is reflected, for example, in the most recent nationwide study on music festivals. This will provide an overview of music festivals in Germany and underline their importance as an economic driver and platform for newcomers. Cultural exchange is becoming increasingly important, as festivals promote encounters and spaces for discussion and support many creative initiatives on a voluntary basis.
Overall, it should be noted that the cultural offers in the Borken district not only show a fine feeling for local traditions, but also open exciting perspectives for the future. The anniversary is an example of how culture strengthens cohesion and not only brings people together, but also shapes the identity of a region.
