Experience the writer and composer Annette von Droste-Hülshoff in all her (sound) colours: This is possible on Friday, 16 May, from 7.30 pm on the small stage in the Deelenhaus Paderborn. With their performance "Colours for Annette von Droste-Hülshoff", the poet Nora Gomringer, the drummer and improvisation musician Philipp Scholz as well as Philip Frischkorn on piano and Andris Meinig on double bass will present an extraordinary encounter with the author. The musicians have created jazz versions of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff's original compositions from the 19th century. The programme is inspired and supported by Burg Hülshoff - Center for Literature as a programme of the Annette von Droste-Hülshoff Foundation. Tickets (20 euros, 10 euros concessions) are available in advance on the organiser's website at: www.deelenhaus.de/kleinebuehnepaderborn. The event is part of the "Droste inter/medial" conference organised by the Institute of German and Comparative Literature at Paderborn University and the Annette von Droste Society, which will take place at the university from 15 to 17 May.

Philipp Scholz and Nora Gomringer have been exploring literature as a duo since 2015. The artists set texts from world literature to music and have dedicated themselves in particular to the work of the American poet and satirist Dorothy Parker. They have performed their programmes "Peng, Peng, Peng" and "Peng, Peng, Parker" in Hong Kong, Japan, Poland and Switzerland, among other places. In Paderborn, they are now opening their eyes and ears to - and with - Annette von Droste-Hülshoff.
