The Verein der Musikfreunde dedicated its concert in the auditorium of the Gautinger Realschule on Sunday to "the 1.2 million musicians in Germany" who can no longer perform due to Corona.
A special concert - dedicated to the 50th anniversary.
Gauting -
"We are so happy to be able to play again", thanked the organizer Astrid Schönauer from the Verein der Musikfreunde Realschulleiter Manfred Jahreis and Mayor Dr.
Brigitte Kössinger.
Because the concert in the large school auditorium could only take place in the large school auditorium with an elaborately implemented hygiene concept, with seating blocks divided up in advance at appropriate intervals between the audience and with protective masks.
"Today is a special day," said the first concertmaster, Dr.
Ernst Blümner.
Because precisely in the 50th anniversary year of the Verein der Musikfreunde, under whose roof the Gautinger Orchestra Association plays, the concerts already planned fell victim to the corona virus - and must now be postponed to 2021.
All that remained was the autumn concert, which was booked out in no time and for which “the wires ran hot” until the very end.
For this, conductor Dorian Keilhack expressly thanked Astrid Schönauer, but also concertmaster and association chairman Dr.
Ernst Blümner.
Full of enthusiasm for playing, the Gautinger strings, reinforced with professional winds, offered the "Allegro molto" from the Haydn Symphony in D major.
The “Adagio cantabile” sounded touching with the challenging, singing solo of the orchestra cellist.
After the rhythmic, pointedly played minuet with the elegant solo flute as an answer to the horns, the famous polyphonic fugue theme from Mozart's Jupiter symphony was heard with the final “Allegro molto”.
These notes of the original "Gregorian hymn" are also printed on the Festschrift.

The highlight was the performance by the Gautingen violin virtuoso Lena Neudauer.
The highlight of the evening followed with the “Romances” by Ludwig van Beethoven.
With an absolutely sure line on her historic Lorenzo Guadagnini violin, she made number one in G major shine musically.
Lyric, in perfect intimate dialogue with the Gautinger Orchestra, the university professor also played the second romance in F major.
Bravo shouts came from the gallery.
As an encore, the soloist offered two extremely demanding compositions by Fritz Kreisler - technically brilliant.
In Symphony No. 33 in B flat major by Mozart, Keilhack once again inspired the Gautinger Orchestra, reinforced with winds, to a masterly performance: In the lively interpreted, scurrying first movement “Allegro assai”, the well-known original motif from the Jupiter Symphony shone with a warm string sound opens into the Andante moderato.
The courtly minuet sounded rhythmically dancing.
In the final movement with the rhythmic string triplets, oboes, horns and bassoons were enthusiastic.
The audience thanked them with sustained applause.
In the end, only this wish remained open: "We hope that the corona pandemic will allow us to hold our Christmas concert on December 26th."
