The table harp ensembles of the Peine District Music School and the table harp ensemble of the Salzgitter Music School, which was founded in September 2022, will give a friendship concert on Thursday, June 15, to mark the 65th anniversary of the music school. The ensembles can be heard in Peine on June 23. This was preceded by a weekend workshop during which they worked intensively on the pieces.
After their first great success in 2019 in the packed churches of St. Bernward in Ilsede and Martin Luther in Edemissen, the table harp groups from the Peine District Music School have developed a special new program under the direction of Christiane Rosenberger.
For the first time, they met for two days for a workshop with the group that has now also been founded at the Salzgitter music school under the direction of Sabine Petter and practiced together, from melodious canons and Irish melodies to film music and lively South American rhythms.
The ensembles are now looking forward to welcoming many guests who would like to hear this special interplay.
Information:
The concert in Salzgitter will take place on Thursday, June 15, at 11 a.m. in the Alte Feuerwache in Lebenstedt, Wehrstraße 27.
The ensemble can be heard in St. Jakobi Church in Peine on Friday, June 23 at 7 pm.
At least 20 table harps play together and are accompanied by Anna Peters, Kateryna Kowalen and Elisabeth Bartscher in the Saitenzauber ensemble with bandura, dulcimer and harp, inviting listeners to enjoy a melodic roundelay of a gently lively kind.
Admission is free. The Förderverein would be delighted to receive a donation for the benefit of the music school.
