Music school: 30 cellists present their skills at concert in Bocholt Apostle Church

On Sunday, March 20, 2022, the Music School Bocholt-Isselburg will hold a final concert with small and large cellists. Start is at 6 pm in the Apostelkirche in Bocholt. Registration is required via the link http://apostelkirche.com/bocholt/anmeldung-zum-konzert-der-musikschule-am-20-3/ . Admission is free.

After a break of almost three years due to the pandemic, the Cellissimo workshop, so popular with the students, can finally take place again. Music school teacher Christiane Schröder, together with her colleagues Christina Schubach and Lisa Mersmann, is organizing a joint final concert with all workshop participants. They will be supported by the cellist of the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra Hauke Hack from Dortmund.

"Hornpipes, polkas and fanfares".

During the rehearsal weekend, 30 young and old cellists will work on a program entitled "Hornpipes, Polkas and Fanfares". The rehearsed repertoire includes film music as well as classical works. The youngest participant is 6 years old, but also some former students do not miss the opportunity to take part in the workshop. Together, the students present the works they have previously worked on in a varied final concert.

"After this long "workshop thirst", the students are already looking forward immensely to the joint workshop," reports music school teacher Christiane Schröder. Making music together was only possible with great restrictions during the corona phase. But according to Schröder, that is exactly what the young and old musicians enjoy: working on something together and presenting it to parents and friends.
