About Text und Ton Ibersheim

In Ibersheim, the smallest district of Worms, located on the right bank of the Rhine on the Altrhein, the event series "Text und Ton" (Text and Sound) takes place at regular intervals. In the Protestant Community Hall, literary readings and music come together in a concentrated format. In May 2026, the program "Canto popolare del Mezzogiorno" is on the agenda — an evening with texts and music from the folk repertoire of Southern Italy. Small, high-quality, and in a special atmosphere: a typical expression of village culture as it is alive in Worms' outer districts, appealing to a local audience as well as interested parties from the entire region.

Ibersheim — the hidden district on the Altrhein

Ibersheim is located on the right bank of the Rhine in the north of Worms and, with just over 500 inhabitants, is the smallest district of the Nibelungenstadt. The place is characterized by the flat floodplain of the Altrhein, by the Mennonite and Reformation heritage, and by a close-knit village community that regularly organizes small cultural events.

The "Text und Ton" Series

In the Protestant Community Hall, the church community has established a chamber music-literary series. "Text und Ton" combines readings and concerts without separating them in a classical concert format. An actress or a narrator interprets the texts, accompanied by music — often with a thematic link such as European folk culture, classical literature, or regional songs.

Focus on Southern Italian Songs

The Spring 2026 edition, with "Canto popolare del Mezzogiorno," is dedicated to the folk songs of Southern Italy. Songs from Calabria, Apulia, Campania, and Sicily are the focus — Tarantellas, peasant hymns, wedding and lament songs, passed down in the collections of 20th-century ethnomusicological research. Accompanying readings frame the music with historical contextualization.

Text und Ton Ibersheim — edition 2026

On Sunday evening, May 31, 2026, at 7 PM, the Protestant Church Community of Ibersheim invites you to the literary-musical event "Text und Ton — Canto popolare del Mezzogiorno" in the Community Hall. A selection of traditional songs from Southern Italy — from Tarantella and peasant hymns to lyrical wedding laments — is interwoven with thematically linked texts and presented in the intimate atmosphere of the Community Hall. An evening that transforms Worms' smallest district into a place of high-quality cultural encounter and honors folk song as a living art form.

The event on May 31, 2026, utilizes the acoustics and intimacy of the Protestant Community Hall to present Southern Italian folk songs with literary contextualization. Voice, accompanying instruments, and spoken texts merge into an evening that combines historical depth and immediate emotional impact.

Atmosphere

The Community Hall offers a concentrated listening situation for a small, attentive audience. Afterwards, there will be an opportunity to interact with the performers.
