Thunderous applause at the traditional Mother's Day concert

On Sunday, 14 May, the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School held its traditional Mother's Day concert with all the wind orchestras of the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School in the Drosselsaal of the LWL Museum Textilwerk. The Miniwinds, the Wind Circle and the Youth Wind Orchestra convinced with great performances.

Under the direction of Gido van Schijndel, the "Mini-Winds", the youngest members of the music school, opened the concert. They played a mixture of popular hits such as "Party Rock Anthem" and surprised the audience with a very entertaining encore of three "air drums", in which the orchestra imitated drum sounds with sound syllables.

The second orchestra to offer a varied programme was the Wind Ensemble under the direction of Ruben van Schijndel. Music from the film "The Incredibles" and the theme from "The A-Team" delighted the audience. A medley of the best melodies from the James Bond films was abruptly interrupted by the Mini-Winds, who also wanted to play along and lined up next to the stage for a joint "Skyfall". A great show effect!

The Youth Wind Orchestra under the direction of Guido Schrader opened its concert contribution with the brilliant "Rise of the Firebird" by Steven Reineke. They continued in a lively mood with music from the film "Madagascar". With the catchy tune "Heal the World" as an encore, the youths and young adults brought the concert to an atmospheric close. As is the tradition at Mother's Day concerts, the Parents' and Supporters' Association presented all mothers with a rose at the exit.
