Christmassy Sound Art Among Books: The Cultural Showcase in Potsdam
When a library transforms into an open cultural space on a Sunday, a unique literary experience emerges: Between shelves, reading rooms, and children's worlds, education, music, and communal discovery come together. On December 13, 2026, the City and Regional Library of Potsdam invites you to the Cultural Showcase featuring the Bell Duo.
Christmas Songs with a Surprising Twist
At 2 PM, Fabian Füssel and Ronald Gottschling will present their musical program in the children's area. Füssel combines singing, ukulele, and saxophone, while Gottschling contributes singing, Irish bouzouki, and e-bass. Together, the two musicians will dedicate themselves to well-known Christmas songs such as Mary's Boy Child, Feliz Navidad, and Christmas Must Be Tonight.
The arrangements do not follow ordinary holiday routines. The Bell Duo promises quirky variations with musical sensitivity, playful irony, and a conscious distance from the overly familiar Christmas sound. Thus, a reading atmosphere in the broader sense arises: language, rhythm, and sound merge into a sensual cultural experience for families, children, and curious library visitors.
The Library as a Living Cultural Space
The Cultural Showcase of the City and Regional Library Potsdam opens the main library on Sundays from 1 PM to 5 PM. Visitors can read, linger, work, use media, and enjoy a free cultural program. The library thus becomes an open meeting point where cultural education and communal experiences come together directly.
The program is aimed at young and old. Especially for children, the event provides an accessible entry point to music, rhythm, and cultural participation. The familiar environment of the children's area creates an intimate atmosphere, where musical artistry and humorous stage presence become immediately tangible.
A Musical Sunday Afternoon for Families
The Bell Duo combines well-known melodies with unusual instrumental colors and a cheeky perspective on the Christmas repertoire. Irish bouzouki, ukulele, saxophone, and e-bass give the songs a characteristic sound and make the visit a varied cultural experience.
Admission is free. Registration is not required for the Cultural Showcase. The event takes place at the City and Regional Library Potsdam at Am Kanal 47 and runs from 2 PM to 3 PM.
Conclusion: Christmas Sounds Different in the Library
For those looking for a relaxed yet stimulating Advent Sunday, the Cultural Showcase offers a unique blend of library visit, family program, and musical surprise. The Bell Duo presents familiar Christmas songs with fresh arrangements and fine irony on stage. Experience the event live and discover Potsdam's library as an open space for music, education, and encounter.
