Sartor Sparkling Wine Cellar
Even though the Hans Sartor sparkling wine cellar has now been in existence for over 80 years, the Fischer-Sartor family has been dedicated to wine for over a century. The wine tradition is mainly related to the Moselle region, whether in Briedel (Fischer Erben) or in Kobern-Gondorf (Strempel). - Viticulture is a family tradition.

Kulturstufen 2024
KeyVisual der Kulturstufen 2024 © Koblenz-Touristik GmbH//Kultur und Schulverwaltungsamt Stadt Koblenz

The "Kulturstufen" is a series of musical events in public spaces. During the summer months, the castle steps on the banks of the Rhine become a performance venue for regional musicians and music groups of different styles.

With this project, the City of Koblenz's Department of Culture and School Administration aims to culturally revitalise the castle steps, which were built for the 2011 Federal Horticultural Show, and thus enhance their public profile.

During the opening hours of the Ufer-Bar, a concert will take place every Wednesday evening from 7 p.m. to around 8:30 p.m.:

Alex Sauerländer Trio 

               The Koblenz drummer Alex Sauerländer (Smooth Operatorz, Johannes Dicke Trio, Jazzimpact, Blueside and many more) is always a great pleasure to interpret the finest lounge music, swing and Latin, but also well-known jazzed-up pop songs in his very own way with his well-known colleagues.

Duo Sol y Luna con TAPAS

              

Almut and Willi Nieratschker harmonise not only in their private lives but also musically. As the duo Sol y Luna with vocals, piano and accordion, they present a wide range of music from jazz and bossa nova to tango and French chansons.

A cosy summer evening and maybe TAPAS to go with it? The young band of the same name from Koblenz exudes the right atmosphere and lightness with Latin, bossa and jazz. Band leader and bassist Thilo Willach is joined by Juliane Anders (saxophone), Almut (percussion) and Willi Nieratschker (piano).

This is where Sol y Luna meets tapas.

Birds Out! 

               Birds Out!" is an Americana, acoustic rock duo from Koblenz, "who have been attracting attention for several years with their clever songwriting, likeable stage performance and tasteful beer tastings" (according to the musicians' initiative Koblenz Music Live e.V. for the Promenade Concerts 2023). André Rheinbay (voc, git) and Volkart Schneider (git, voc) play self-written songs ranging from pub rockers and sing-along songs to Tom Waits-style ballads ... multi-layered, independent, sometimes sung in several voices, but above all groovy and catchy. As universally music-crazy as the two are, so diverse are the influences they incorporate into their songwriting: Rock and folk, country and blues - Americana in fact - sometimes even a bit of funk, ska or punk flashes out. And that is precisely why the songs of these two colourful birds always have their own line and are at least as recognisable as their obligatory melons.

Die Rheinische

              In this concert, the two musicians tirelessly search for the fastest and the slowest, the quietest or the most frequently played piece of music. The question of the most famous composer, the musician who earns the most money or the most popular musical is also investigated. An exciting and entertaining evening for young and old with lots of interesting facts about music awaits the audience.

Tom Alaska

              As the son of an organist and a classically trained singer, Tom began his musical training on the piano at the age of seven. At the beginning of his twelfth year, he extended this with classical training on the trumpet in a big band, where he learnt the subtleties of jazz in particular, which are reflected in his Udo Jürgens arrangements today. Tom learnt to sing with the renowned vocal coach Mario Becker in Koblenz, who also provides vocal coaching for the Koblenz City Theatre and the musical singer Kerstin Ibald (who recorded the duet "Alle Macht den Gefühlen" with Udo Jürgens). Tom's love of Udo Jürgens' music began as a young teenager and today, as a seasoned fiftysomething, it is impossible to imagine his life's work without it.
