The Ensemble GoldMund makes its debut on Sunday, January 15, with a matinee at the Jakobmayer.

Dorfen – A master-class matinee is on the program on Sunday, January 15, in the Jakobmayer: GoldMund will play a New Year's concert from 11 a.m.

Singer Anna Veit and six Munich Philharmonics, including the Hubenstein horn player Ulrich Haider and trumpeter Bernhard Peschl from Dorfen, ignite a firework of brass, voice and percussion.

The name "GoldMund" stands for itself, says Haider.

"Sharp tongues, soft lips and the golden voice of Anna Veit," the musician then specifies.

In addition, wind instruments are generally made of golden sheet metal.

The septet has been around for four years, but many performances had to be postponed due to Corona - including the debut at the Dorfen cultural center.

"Eerily beautiful chansons with an unearthly love of life," announces Haider.

The repertoire alternates between "All in white, with a bouquet of flowers" and "La Solitude".

At the press conference, Haider also presented the CD "Fürs Erste" - with songs by Georg Kreisler and Jacques Brel, a foretaste of the upcoming concert.

We listened.

GoldMund is also about the really big themes: longing and lovesickness, with fairytale melodies.

From "Aschenbrödel", for example, the musicians play who are among Germany's best brass players.

Church musician Ernst Bartmann arranged "Hansel and Gretel" for GoldMund's performance.

Viennese diatribes are also on the program.

Anna Veit sings with a gently plaintive timbre, accompanied by sad-sounding xylophone and elegiac trumpet tones.

"Instrumental flights of fancy and vocal abysses that leave no dry eye and no cold ear," promises Haider.

It is the unusual combination that explores the dialogue between sound and text as a new way of expressing moods and emotions.

"There is no such thing as a mixture of brass and vocals."

The Jakomayer Hall is predestined for this line-up. "Singing has something intimate that creates a special connection with the audience." "

Haider has been blowing the horn since he was eleven.

With great success, because the professional musician has been the deputy solo horn player with the Munich Philharmonic for 30 years and is therefore one of the best wind players of his time.

He lives with his wife and two sons in Hubenstein, but travels a lot - sometimes in Tokyo, sometimes in Paris or Madrid, depending on where the master concerts are taking place.

They have also played for Pope Benedict in the Vatican.

"I think that was in 2007," she reminds the Catholic of the former Pope who died a few days ago.

Haider lives for the music: "When the audience and we masters become one, then we are all very close to the divine," he says.

“The viewers are often so moved that they have tears in their eyes.

And when the music ends, there is silence for two or three minutes – before the applause starts.”

He predicts that the audience will also leave Jakobmayer feeling purified after the concert.

"Anyone who has heard us knows that basically everything could be much worse," jokes Haider.
