Widukind Foundation
Celebration Concert
25 July 2026
„The Beginning continues“
Being Together in the Present Moment
A concert as a shared experience of space.
The space that opens
belongs to itself.
We do not need to improve it.
We are all its guests,
discovering together
what may reveal itself.
Perhaps there is more goodness waiting there
than we could ever create ourselves.
Let us meet it with attentive presence.
When everyday concerns gently recede,
space can open.
Not through doing nothing,
but through walking together.
Through becoming—
and through the joy
of enabling.
Tonight:
Some contributions wish to continue resonating in silence. For this reason,
a quiet moment and a grateful glance may be the most beautiful applause.
If you feel moved to support the initiative,
"Creativity through Generous Encounter,"
and the emerging meeting place in Szakony,
we thank you wholeheartedly for your generosity.
And if you simply leave this evening carrying its resonance with you,
we thank you just as warmly for your presence.
Programme
• „Yes“ - Christoph Michael Pesch
Soloists, Choir, Ensemble
1) Give your "yes" to the nature within you.
Hear it in singing, see it in dance.
Giving us joy, it offers itself whole.
It is here for you. Give it your yes.
2) Give your "yes" to the nature within me. ...

• „Az tam“ – Vanda Prochazka
Soloists, Ensemble, Choir
1) The soul sends messages to guide us through this earthly land.
The voice of the heart will always lead us to become a pure flower.
Chorus: To that place, that place where I embrace my trust.
To that place, that place where I sing my song to the heights.
2) My soul unfolds, blooming like a budding flower,
knows the way, holds faith, and rises into the sky.
3) The sound within, like the ringing of a bell,
vibrates through us—a chorus of love,
our voices joined as one, resounding with gratitude.
• „Song To the Moon“ – Antonin Dvorsak
Soloist, Ensemble
1) Gentle moon, high in the starry sky,
far your quiet glances roam.
You look upon the whole wide world,
you see each person's journey.
O moon, do not hurry on;
tell me first where my friend may wander.
2) Silver moon, please do not hide the one
whom your bright waves surround.
Let a passing dream recall
a quiet thread of memory.
Shine on him, near or far. Shine on him.
Tell him, tell him, someone is waiting for him.
• & Silent Mime
• „Moments“ – Dr. med. Wolfgang Vogelsberger
• „Fire“ – Friedrich Schenk
Soloist, Ensemble, Choir
• „Sing Of the Butterfly“ – Margarethe Jehn
Soloist, Ensemble, Choir
1) When the winter's growing weary,
and on hidden woodland ways,
our clever little foxes
let the spring come in again,
then you'll see him there:
He comes drifting, dancing,
floating, bright and beautiful.
Butterfly.
Sing, sing, sing of the butterfly.
2) Following the birds of summer,
who return to us each year,
comes an army of butterflies,
clouds of colours, millions near,
over land, over sea.
They come drifting, dancing,
floating, bright and beautiful.
Butterfly.
Sing, sing, sing of the butterfly.
3) A little caterpillar walks on tiny, sturdy feet.
Through its little eyes the whole world
seems a little dim and deep.
Then it spins a dream,
dreaming of drifting, dancing,
floating, bright and beautiful.
Butterfly.
Sing, sing, sing of the butterfly.
4) Where the stinging nettles flourish,
there are cradles everywhere.
Patiently they wait together
till bright wings are theirs to wear.
Then you'll see them there:
They come drifting, dancing,
floating, bright and beautiful.
Butterfly.
Sing, sing, sing of the butterfly.
