At this year’s carnival concert of the Rheintal Music School, the students offered their guests an unforgettable program.
Lustenau “It’s nice that we can celebrate carnival together again and dress up,” said Gerlinde König, secretary at the Rheintal Music School. Together with her colleague Lisi Hildebrand, she welcomed the guests at the entrance to the Reichshofsaal and handed out the tickets for the music school’s annual carnival concert. “We’re sold out to the last seat,” she added. Clowns, pirates, magicians and Pippi Longstocking came to listen to the music students’ one-hour program and to celebrate carnival together. Music school director Doris Glatter-Götz welcomed the big and many small guests and was pleased about the great interest of the population.
The children’s orchestra under the direction of Markus Ellensohn kicked things off. They wowed the audience with their musical performance of the intrada and jazzy beat. The students of the dance group “Modern Jazz 1” danced to the song “Woman up” and made it clear how much they enjoy learning to dance from Tathiana Cardozo da Silva.
The youth sinfonietta, conducted by Markus Ellensohn, took the guests to the Caribbean with the song “Pirates of the Carribean” and brought stormy pirate flair to the Reichshofsaal in Lustenau. The second dance group from “Modern Jazz” continued in a lively mood. The young dancers confidently performed their well thought-out choreography to the song “Hair”.
Rhythm spectacle with brooms
One of the highlights of the carnival concert was the performance by the percussion ensemble conducted by Ronald Fischer. Disguised as street sweepers, the students Jonas Hämmerle, Konstantin Heinzle and Pio Koch entered the stage together with their teacher Ronald Fischer and made music á la “STOMP” with just their street brooms. They were rewarded with the fascinated faces of the audience.
Clear the stage for young talents
The Sinfonietta performed two pieces with the soloist Valentin Kalb on the viola, who skillfully played his solo under the direction of Marcus Hartmann. “Unfortunately, Julius Mayer is ill and cannot perform his solo on the cello today,” regretted director Glatter-Götz in advance. The Sinfonietta performed the pieces “El Choclo” by Angel Villoldo and “Night of the Tropics” by Louis Moreau Gottschalk. At the end of the one-hour concert, the workshop band “The Missing Ones” with Fiona Splinter, Maya Merten, Tamino Feuerstein and Luis Bösch heated up the hall again and the band members demonstrated what they can do at a young age. The Rheintalische Musikschule once again delivered a performance show and showed how musical talent can be optimally promoted. bvs
