Klangforum Marburg Delighted the Audience with Film Music at the Packed Forum der Steinm\u00fchle<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Klangforum Marburg filled the hall both visually and acoustically. Fifty-five singers, together with their choir director Daniel Sans and Olaf Roth\u2019s live band, presented a diverse selection of film music from various genres spanning the past 80 years. The concert drew such a large crowd that all 240 seats in the Forum der Steinm\u00fchle were completely filled. <\/p>\n

Anyone who joins the Klangforum enjoys singing. During the pandemic, it was uncertain whether this wonderful choir would continue to exist. \u201cWe used to have 80 members,\u201d Daniel Sans recalls with a touch of nostalgia, though he\u2019s also glad that he and his fellow choir members were able to weather the involuntary hiatus as a group. <\/p>\n

Getting in the Spirit for Mother’s Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

On that concert evening at the Steinm\u00fchle, May 13, there was simply a great atmosphere in the hall. \u201cGetting in the mood for Mother\u2019s Day,\u201d as Daniel Sans put it in the invitation. And indeed, the women took center stage, as they were clearly in the majority among the singers. It was a lively concert, characterized by variety in the songs performed, the eras in which they were written, and the accompanying instruments. As always, the live band entertained the audience with bass, drums, and keyboard. On the keyboard, band leader Olaf Roth was briefly replaced by Marie-Gabrielle Sans for one piece; she had previously played the grand piano. Flexibility counts in music, too! <\/p>\n

To ensure a truly multifaceted evening, vocal solos were woven into the program, performed by Lennard…, F\u00e9lix M\u00fcller, and Svenja Schneider, who, along with Olaf Roth, is one of the founding members of the Klangforum, which has been in existence for nearly 12 years.<\/p>\n

During the entertaining choir and band evening, in which Daniel Sans served not only as choir director but also as host, the following songs were performed:<\/p>\n

“Adiemus” by Karl Jenkins, “O nuit” by Rameau, “On My Own” by Claude Sch\u00f6nberg (solo by Lennard Widdascheck), “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen, “Barbara Ann” by the Beach Boys, “My Prince Will Come” from the Walt Disney animated film *Snow White* (solo by Svenja Schneider), Funk Improvisation on “Summertime” (George Gershwin), \u201cCasablanca\u201d by Herman Hupfeld (solo by Svenja Schneider), \u201cSomewhere Over the Rainbow\u201d by Harold Arlen, \u201cMy Heart Will Go On\u201d by Celine Dion, \u201cCan You Feel the Love Tonight\u201d by Elton John (solo by F\u00e9lix M\u00fcller), \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love\u201d by G.D. Weiss), \u201cMay It Be\u201d by Enya, \u201cSkyfall\u201d by Adele (solo by Svenja Schneider), and \u201cConquest of Paradise\u201d by Vangelis. The ecstatic audience wouldn\u2019t let the fantastic singers leave without an encore and raved as they filed out: \u201cWhat a wonderful concert\u2014that was truly top-notch.\u201d <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Daniel Sans is convinced: “Anyone can sing”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Anyone can sing,” choir director Daniel Sans says time and again. The concert tenor, who also works as a music teacher at the Steinm\u00fchle, encourages interested women and men of all ages and voice types to join the Klangforum if they\u2019re interested. It\u2019s also possible to just drop by. The Klangforum is a joint choir of the Marburg Music School and Steinm\u00fchle. It rehearses every Friday at 7:30 p.m. in the Steinm\u00fchle Forum\u2014the very same place where the concert took place. <\/p>\n
