From percussion and alpine brass to modern lighting technology
What was going on in Treppendorf? Things have been buzzing on our campus these past few weeks: exciting workshops, international guests, tons of fresh inspiration and music, technology, and passion everywhere you looked. There was something for everyone, because our workshops are as diverse as music itself!
International Marimba Festival Competition
For the international Festival Marimba Festiva Congress and Competition, organized by Marimba Festiva e.V., we welcomed 33 young musicians from around the world to Treppendorf. The competition gave participants the opportunity to showcase their technical skills, musical expression, and sense of rhythm and dynamics. In various age categories, they performed challenging repertoire pieces in front of an international jury. Whether through the exciting competition performances, personal exchanges with like-minded individuals, or group rehearsals, the passion was palpable across the entire campus.
Lighting Workshop on ChamSys MagicQ
From the stage to the lighting console: At the ChamSys MagicQ Training, everything revolved around professional lighting design. The hands-on workshop demonstrated what can be achieved with a ChamSys MagicQ console. In a relaxed, open atmosphere, everyone had the opportunity to take their skills to the next level. From the first button press to show programming — each step shed a light on new skills and insights, guiding everyone toward a successful outcome!
Alphorn Workshop with Berthold Schick
And then things got down-to-earth — in the best possible way! In the Alphorn Workshop with Berthold Schick, our participants were introduced to the secrets of tone production, breathing, and air control on the alphorn, delivered with plenty of expertise, passion, and a good dose of humor. The workshop concluded with a joint finale serenade in Burgebrach, where everyone had the chance to showcase their newly learned skills, captivating the audience with every note of this unique instrument.
Our workshops over the past few weeks have once again shown just how diverse, inspiring, and vibrant music can be. A heartfelt thank you to all our guests and staff for their incredible dedication and passion. Without you, none of this would have been possible!
