The Rothenkirchen Music Association under the direction of Daniel Hilbert touched the hearts of the listeners in the packed St. Bartholomew Church in Rothenkirchen with a multifaceted repertoire in the concert “A Christmas Hour”. The introduction of some young musicians in the orchestra was particularly pleasing.
Chairwoman Meike Steiger was pleased about the large number of visitors, which recognized the long preparations and rehearsal times. In addition to the musicians, the helpers who are not in the spotlight but who do the valuable work before and after the concert deserve this.
Anyone who entered the church for the concert could immediately be inspired by the atmospheric atmosphere of the illumination. The musicians were greeted with warm applause as they marched to the sanctuary, which was converted into a stage. Chiara Sasso led through the program with information about the individual pieces of music.
It started with the rocky opening work written by Alexander Pfluger “Take off”, followed by the concert march for wind orchestra “Sympatria” by Thomas Asanger. The soulful solo “For one in heaven” was intoned by Roman Steiger on his bass flugelhorn. With this heartfelt melody, emotions were awakened by the sounds of the brass instrument.
Talented young musicians
With the cheerful medley “A happy winter holiday,” the orchestra performed classic Christmas melodies using all registers. “Last Christmas” is a romance that no Christmas celebration is without, and this global pop hit did not leave the listeners’ hearts untouched.
The two nine-year-old girls Anna Haderlein and Anna Steiger recited a contemplative Christmas poem. Afterwards, the seven young musicians aged nine to 14 made their debut at the Christmas concert and integrated fully harmoniously into the wind orchestra with the piece “Auld lang syne”, a Scottish folk song that is reminiscent of times long past.
The finale was reserved for the Erzgebirge folk tune “S’is Feieromd”. But it wasn’t over for the orchestra yet, because the enthusiastic audience enjoyed listening to the encores of two Christmas classics – with “Jingle bells” and “Tomorrow Santa Claus is coming”, combined with a Bohemian polka that makes brass music hearts beat faster, the listeners were energized in the mood for Christmas. Mulled wine and snacks were waiting outside at the musicians’ home. Donations are used to benefit youth work. eh
