Description
In 2026, the Bernese troubadour Bernhard Stirnemann would have turned 90 years old. "Bene" – as he was called by his circle – is considered, alongside Mani Matter, the founder of Bernese chanson. Like Matter, he was inspired by French chanson. In the 1960s, both helped Bernese chanson gain its current popularity. Bernhard Stirnemann – a teacher by profession – was more than just the cheeky Bernese troubadour many know him as. He ran his own small theater and significantly shaped 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. At the same time, the homage program "Mys Käthi schmöckt nach Schoggola" will start. Comedienne Lisa Catena and Bernese chansonnier Rolf Marti honor Bernhard Stirnemann with a mix of readings and songs – including pieces for which no recordings exist.
