In front of a packed house, the musicians of the Steinm\u00fchle came together for their winter concert. For the 5th-grade wind instrument class\u2014which has only had its instruments since October\u2014it was their first concert in front of a large audience. The group was accompanied by Andreas Jamin on the piano. And with the songs \u201cMorgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann\u201d and \u201cJingle Bells,\u201d a festive Christmas atmosphere quickly took hold. <\/p>\n

The Christmas tree sparkled in the auditorium, and the students shone just as brightly as they played their instruments. Following an introduction by music teacher Anna Prokop, who co-hosted the event with Ulrike Wilmsmeyer, Sophie Menzler and Salome Kuppe captivated the audience with their performances on the violin and grand piano. Next up was Jakob Bieber on the cello, also accompanied on the piano by Salome Kuppe. Konstantin Franz also gave a brilliant performance on the piano, followed by Nina Marko, who treated the audience to an encore. <\/p>\n

The song \u201cSnowman\u201d\u2014originally by Sia\u2014was a delight to hear, performed at the Steinm\u00fchle by the trio of Anna Steinfeldt, Chiara Sheye, and Svea Turba. The performers had to make up for a few absences due to illness that evening; this was the case, for example, with the Stonemill Brass, who, under the direction of Andreas Jamin, nevertheless brought their performance to a successful conclusion with just three brass players. This was followed by a performance by Wind Class 6, who played a piece together with the concert band, and then a performance by the concert band on its own. All three program items were conducted by Stephan Reissig. <\/p>\n

For the grand finale, all the performers sang Jose Feliciano\u2019s famous Christmas song, \u201cFeliz Navidad,\u201d with its catchy chorus, \u201cI wanna wish you a Merry Christmas\u201d\u2014accompanied on instruments by Frank Wemme, Anna Prokop, and Stephan Reissig, and joined in by the entire audience with singing and clapping.<\/p>\n

As Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer noted in his closing remarks, the audience experienced a truly impressive performance and an atmospheric event that was also technically well-executed thanks to the Sound & Light team led by Matth\u00e4us Otte. As a token of appreciation, Dirk Lange, a member of the school administration, presented roses to all the soloists and a small bouquet to Ulrike Wilmsmeyer in recognition of her work in putting together the program and organizing the event, which she handled with her usual expertise. <\/p>\n
