A mix of cinema, music and magic

For their concert show “Cinemagic”, the musicians of the Endlisch-Musigg-Orchester Rödermark have become screen heroes themselves.

The format sounds exciting: “Cinemagic” is the name of a show that the Endlisch-Musigg-Orchester from Rödermark will conjure up on the stage on November 27th. The name of the show is no coincidence: the event is a mixture of cinema, concert music and magic.

The orchestra of the Musikverein Viktoria 08 Ober-Roden has always been innovative and has already won prizes for it. Sometimes the “musiggers” organized a show act with “circus music” and acrobats in the Rödermark cultural hall, and sometimes an evening show in fine thread under the motto “Swinging Christmas”. When no live event was possible in the previous year due to corona, they simply switched to digital – and brought the fairy tale of Hans im Glück with musicians, storytellers and children from ballet school to the children on YouTube under the motto “Märchenmusigg”.

After the lockdown and the corona-related restrictions, the concert show “Cinemagic” is now the musicians’ first live performance. But not everything is as it used to be: Since the seating in the Rödermark Culture Hall is mandatory, you can only sell around 300 tickets instead of 700 tickets. The 3G rule also applies.

Tickets

Advance ticket sales for “Cinemagic” starts on October 15th.

cards is only available digitally on www.konzertshow.de or on www.endlischmusigg.de.

“Cinemagic” is a symbiosis of concert and show as well as an interim solution between digital format and concert party. Some club members have become screen heroes themselves for this. They re-enacted well-known film scenes, were on a secret mission like James Bond, and with a twinkle in their eyes they doubled Johnny Depp and his pirates in the “Pirates of the Caribbean”. “There was even a script and a director’s book,” says Simone König, press spokeswoman for Endlisch Musigg.

The film scenes have already been shot and will be shown in the background on November 27th on a screen in the Kulturhalle. In the foreground, the orchestra plays the appropriate film music live, accompanied in parts by the choir of the Catholic parish Cäcilia Ober-Roden. The magician Frank Zick from Babenhausen moderates the show and provides transitions with magical moments.

At the end of the year, a “best of concert” will be implemented as a video stream. “It is not possible for us to broadcast the concert show live on the internet because we would need five to six cameras and a very stable internet connection,” says König. According to the conductor Andreas Zöller, an additional live event is also not possible because the culture hall has no further free capacity.

The brass orchestra does not want to make a profit with the event this year, says Zöller. The musicians are happy to be able to play in front of an audience again. “We completed 40 digital samples during the Corona period,” he looks back.

Nevertheless, the orchestra is happy about the 1000 Euro grant that comes from the Offenbach district, as well as the funding from the Federal Music Association Choir & Orchestra. The association had put out a tender for projects that can revive culture after the pandemic. 1100 applications were received and 109 projects were found to be eligible. The concert show “Cinemagic” is one of them. “We can use it to drop a sound engineer, for example,” explains König.
