The Saerbeck art and culture association BUNKER11 will be hosting pianist and composer Aeham Ahmad at the Bürgerhaus in Saerbeck on 7 November 2026.
Pianist and composer Aeham Ahmad, the "pianist from the rubble", grew up in the Palestinian refugee camp Yarmouk in Damascus.
Aeham Ahmad played the piano in the middle of the Syrian civil war.
He is giving a solo concert in Saerbeck and reading from his book "Arriving..."
It gives an insight into the life and everyday life of Aeham Ahmad with all its beautiful sides and difficulties. He tells his story and his experiences in Germany and Europe up close.
He says: "I didn't manage to change anything in Syria, but maybe I have a chance here."
Tickets go on sale around 6 weeks before the event at Buch & Mehr in Saerbeck and Atelier Buch & Kunst in Emsdetten.
Tickets can be purchased online from the comfort of your own home via the platform www.localticketing.de.
As a 2026 eco-project, crown corks are collected for art at every Bunker11 event - every lid counts!
On the one hand, the crown caps are returned to the recycling cycle, which benefits the environment and reduces the consumption of resources. On the other hand, the German-Syrian artist ALAA NASSER will create a work of art from a selection of crown caps, which will be auctioned off in November.
The proceeds from the art auction and the sale of bottle caps will provide the financial basis for new BUNKER11 cultural projects in 2027.
