Teachers of the music school Bocholt-Isselburg give matinee concert

Six teachers of the music school Bocholt Isselburg have come together and prepared a varied program.

The program includes "La Bergamasca" by Marco Uccellini (1642) and "Chaconne" by Johann Valentin Meder (17th century), played by a trio for recorder, violin and bassoon with Theres Kommescher, Gabriele Nußberger and Kerstin Raulfs-Bollhöfer.

The duo for viola and cello with Gabriele Nußberger and Christiane Schröder present "Duet with two obbligato eyeglasses" by Ludwig van Beethoven (around 1800) as well as "Allegro prestissimo" from Sonata No.4 by Jean-Baptiste Barrière (1740).

Piano teacher and pianist Karl-Heinz Höper will perform from "Canadiana Suite" by Oscar Peterson (1964), the solo pieces "Laurentide Waltz" and "Place St. Henri" and an improvisation on "Take the A train" by Billy Strayhorn (1939). Finally, Karl Heinz Höper will join Michael Meldrum on trombone to perform the ragtime pieces "Hot Trombone," "Shoutin' Liza Trombone" and "Lassus Trombone" by Henry Fillmore.

"The faculty concert is a relatively new format at the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School," explains Music School Director Claudia Borgers. Last year, she says, there was the first concert of this kind in a streaming format due to corona. It is all the nicer that live concerts are finally possible again, Borgers is pleased to say. That the teachers are not only good teachers, but also excellent musicians, the participants will again prove in the concert.
