It's part of autumn: the theatres start their programming. Midden-Groningen has both large and small venues. Some also allow you to develop your own talents.
Cultuurwerkplaats BC47
At Cultuurwerkplaats BC47 in Borgercompagnie, you can attend unique concerts and performances created by local or regional talent, such as Linde Nijland and Bert Ridderbos and the musical theatre performance 'Bedrieglijke passie'. Peter Molter of the BC47 Foundation says: "We offer both up-and-coming talent and established artists a place to present themselves and refine their performance, whether they are singer-songwriters, filmmakers or actors. You can also get involved yourself. Join jam sessions, perform solo or in a band or become an actor in the theatre or project choir."

Kielzog
In Hoogezand, Kielzog is the place to experience culture. In the theatre, you visit performances by regional, national and international artists. For instance, Jan Henk de Groot and the Bolotny Kwartet combine the most beautiful Groningen songs with classical arrangements, Pé and Rinus play the roof off and Daniël Lohues comes with Holland Baroque. Would you like to get started yourself? Then there are plenty of courses for young and old, from playing instruments and dancing to acting and singing.

Kaap Steendam
At Kaap Steendam on the Schildmeer, you can enjoy live music performances by mainly country or folk artists. Co-owner Hanne Wiepkema says: "We regularly organise Music Dinings, when we combine a dinner with live music. The idea is to let guests enjoy both food and music in a relaxed setting. The reactions are very positive. Guests find the combination surprising and atmospheric and enjoy the intimate, casual atmosphere. The combination with live music makes it feel different from an ordinary dinner."

The Ent and Kultuureiland Damsterplas
Stichting De Draad puts on cultural events, from theatre and music performances to art and landscape projects. Art and Culture House De Ent in Hellum regularly hosts jam sessions, performances and exhibitions. On Kultuureiland Damsterplas between Siddeburen and Steendam, meeting, staying, playing, moving, experiencing and, above all, enjoying are central. Artists work together on projects connecting art and landscape. Nice to experience during a walk around the Damsterplas.

Koepelkerk
The Koepelkerk in Sappemeer is a wonderful place for concerts and has beautiful acoustics. Every month, classical musicians perform under the name Koepelkerk Concerts. Not the least of these come to play here; there have been concerts by Wibi Sourjadi and violinist Isabelle van Keulen, for instance. This autumn, there will be a piano recital by Andrei Makarov and a performance by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's Brass Quintet.
