LISTED TIMES ARE GMT

A Word About Timings

All timings are listed in both Greenwich Mean Time and Eastern Daylight Time. Europe and North America are both on Daylight Time. For those of you who live in other time zones, you will need to make a calculation to derive the time of an event where you live. In North America subtract four (4) hours (from GMT) for the Eastern Time Zone, five (5) hours for the Central Time Zone, and six (6) hours for the Mountain Time Zone. Subtract seven (7) hours for the Pacific Time Zone, eight (8) hours for Alaska, and nine (9) hours for Hawaii. In UK, Ireland and Portugal add one (1) hour to GMT. In most of the rest of Europe add one (2) hours (some Eastern European countries are three (3) hours ahead of GMT). In the Southern Hemisphere, Australia and New Zealand are on Standard Time (Australia is 11 hours ahead of GMT; New Zealand is 13 hours ahead of GMT).

For those in the United States, it is useful to keep in mind that broadcasts in the evening hours often appear in the NEXT day's listings because they occur in the small hours in GMT time, which is our primary reference in the following listings.

For more information on time zone calculations, double click the time display on the lower right of your screen (if you are using a PC) to display the Time Zone tab, then click on the drop-down menu for a full list of time zones and their relationships to Greenwich Mean Time. You may also let the TIME CONVERTER do the calculations for you.

	1800 2:00PM	SPECIAL PROGRAM: ARD Konzert Gerettete Meisterwerke Graupners Sämtliche Kantaten für Tenor und Bass Die Musikgeschichte hätte anders verlaufen können: Denn eigentlich war Christoph Graupner Leipzigs Favorit vor Bach. Lange vergessen, werden seine opernhaften Kantaten nun systematisch wiederentdeckt. Als sein Plan, Opern für den Darmstädter Hof zu schreiben, aus Geldmangel scheiterte, machte Christoph Graupner die Kirche zu seiner Bühne. In 45 Jahren als Hofkapellmeister komponiert er über 1450 Kantaten – rasant, aufwühlend und oft so emotional wie eine Opernarie. Graupners Wunsch zum Trotz, alle Kompositionen nach seinem Tod zu vernichten, ist das Werk fast komplett erhalten geblieben. Nun wird es seit einigen Jahren systematisch wiederentdeckt, aufgeführt und eingespielt – maßgeblich durch das Kantaten-Projekt des Bassbaritons Dominik Wörner im kleinen pfälzischen Weinort Kirchheim an der Weinstraße. Christoph Graupner Sämtliche Kantaten für Tenor und Bass Die Andacht fragt nach dir, GWV 1111/42 Ach wo find' ich meine Liebe, GWV 1112/14 Wenn Not und Angst am grössten ist, GWV 1114/14 Gottes Wille meint es gut, GWV 1114/22 Du gehst o Jesu willig, GWV 1119/14 Warum willst du unser so gar vergessen, GWV 1134/21 Georg Poplutz, Tenor Dominik Wörner, Bass Kirchheimer BachConsort Leitung: Florian Heyerick Konzert vom 16. und 17. August 2025 aus der Protestantischen Kirche, Kirchheim an der Weinstraße (2 hrs.)
