Live in Concert: Ehekrach
2025-10-19 22:00 | Festival Lounge, Deck 1, Königstraße 93, Nuremberg, 90402, Germany
Live concert in the Festival Lounge, free admission

With their minimalist feel-good sound, the indie duo Ehekrach get your feet tapping and deliver easily digestible songs that make you feel and smile.

Finding the right person for a band project is a challenge. Spouses Nicole and Patrick therefore make it easy for themselves and form the band Ehekrach in the fall of 2024, which is dedicated to catchy Indian numbers from the living room production. In addition to guitar and bass, the duo give their songs the necessary drive and use a drum machine to provide the necessary indie slacker beat. Most of the songs are arranged in two voices, often working in dialog. The themes of their songs, which are created at the breakfast table, while shopping or on the sofa, are sometimes a gentle embrace, then again a tongue-in-cheek anecdote from everyday life as millennials.

Live in Concert: Reis
2025-10-20 22:00 | Festival Lounge, Deck 1, Königstraße 93, Nuremberg, 90402, Germany
Live concert in the Festival Lounge, free admission

You can not only cook rice, you can also listen to it!

Since mid-2022, ‘Reis’ has been travelling on stages across Germany, presenting a mix of fusion jazz, funk and light punk elements.

It is unmistakable that the four musicians around Sebastian (saxophone), Christoph (guitar), Marius (bass) and Laurin (drums) partly come from different musical genres, but this gives ‘Reis’ a certain charm. Jazz perhaps, but definitely ‘rice’ music.

We cordially invite you to a small reception and to the award ceremony of the 14th Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Festival (NIHRFF). Three film awards will be presented in the evening: the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Award, the Open Eyes Youth Jury Award and the Audience Award.

The International Jury will award the Nuremberg International Human Rights Film Prize to a film from the International Competition.

The Open Eyes Youth Jury awards its prize to the film from the Open Eyes programme which, in its opinion, is best suited for human rights education in schools. Open Eyes is supported by Stabilo International.

The evening will be hosted by Nuremberg’s most popular glitter queen Roxy Rüd.
