Lisa Catena & Rolf Marti Mys Käthi smells like Chocolate – Homage to the Bernese Troubadour Bernhard Stirnemann

Description

In 2026, the Bernese troubadour Bernhard Stirnemann would have turned 90 years old. "Bene" – as his circle called him – is considered, alongside Mani Matter, as one of the founders of Bernese chanson. Like Matter, he was inspired by French chanson. In the 1960s, both contributed to the popularity of Bernese chanson as we know it today. Bernhard Stirnemann – a teacher by profession – was more than just the mischievous Bernese troubadour known to many. He ran his own small theater and significantly influenced the scene for years. As a cultural politician, he was active in the Bern City Council and the Grand Council of the Canton of Bern. In autumn 2026, the biography "Bene – E fräche Siech" by historian Beat Hodler will be published by Zytglogge Verlag. Simultaneously, the homage program "Mys Käthi schmöckt nach Schoggola" will launch. Comedienne Lisa Catena (Zytlupe, Radio SRF) and Bernese chansonnier Rolf Marti will honor Bernhard Stirnemann with a mix of reading and songs – including pieces for which no recordings exist.
