The Sauerlach Music School has been in existence for 50 years.
In the meantime, the talent factory has brought many passionate musicians to playing maturity.
Sauerlach
- "We proudly look back on 50 eventful years - thousands of students learned to play their instruments with us, make their voices ring out and love music overall." The success story cannot be summarized more succinctly than Bettina Fuchs as longtime director of the Sauerlach-Brunnthal music school.
"It's been five decades with hundreds of events and concerts that have enriched community life."
Concerts in different places
The musical work will be celebrated next Saturday.
With a rhapsody of high-class concerts.
Concerts are presented at various locations.
The respective ensemble stays, the visitors wander.
"We offer our guests so-called promenade concerts," says Fuchs.
Each concert lasts fifteen minutes and is played three times in front of a different audience.
Film scores and rhythm workshop
In the Sauerlach multi-purpose hall, from 2 p.m. you can experience film music, audio homemade music and a rhythm workshop.
From 3.15 p.m., dances, baroque music and studies alternate in 15-minute staccato.
The Sauerlach elementary school starts at 2 p.m. with children's songs, "piano hands" and Spanish sounds.
At 3.15 p.m. these sounds lead to hits, a focus on South and Latin America as well as Rock&Pop.
Finally, the big festival concert will open in the hall from 5 p.m.
Wind and large orchestras offer a wide range of musical teaching and learning in concertante maturity.
"The joy of being able to perform in front of an audience again after the gloomy Corona period is huge for both teachers and students," says Fuchs.
She adds: “The first orchestra rehearsals also produced some tears of joy.
Founded in 1971
In the autumn of 1971, the Sauerlach Music School was founded as the Sauerlach Music Association for Sauerlach and neighboring towns.
Mainly on the initiative of committed parents.
With 70 students, initially only in Sauerlach, what has now arrived with 24 professional teachers and currently 600 students in different types of instruments.
Today it is the responsibility of the municipalities of Sauerlach and Brunnthal as a permanent contact point in the district and is funded by the Free State.
From the beginnings in and around the old fire station on Wolfratshauser Straße with the intention of building a band, a sophisticated music portfolio has developed.
The range of courses has been continuously expanded over the years and decades.
So came drums, choir, saxophone, vocals,
Attic fire is remembered
Not only the content, but also the premises have changed over the course of many years.
Containers and the outbuildings of the forest house had to be accommodated, which also temporarily broke down after a fire in the roof trusses in the old town hall.
"But we still lack a larger room that we can also access at the weekend," says Fuchs, formulating a wish for the future at the cradle party.

Digital Lessons
Despite all the evils and limited practice, the pandemic has also presented options for the future.
"During the lockdown, we expanded our options for digital lessons and hope to be able to further intensify and improve these offers with the new fiber optic network," says Fuchs.
Streaming concerts should become part of our annual concert offer.
