Biography of youth orchestra Langenargen

Youth orchestra Langenargen
The youth
orchestra of the music school Langenargen was founded 30 years ago.
At the
moment, there are over 60 girls and boys making music in the orchestra. They
are aged 10 to 19 years.
The orchestra meets twice a week to practice in
smaller groups or all together. The members have to do about 30 concerts
and
several gigs a year. There is a trip to a foreign country once a year. The
orchestra was in the following countries:
Spain, France, Belgium, Poland, Croatia,
Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
The girls and boys always got one of the best
prizes at contests of bands or other music competitions.
The saxophone
quartet did the qualification for the overall German competition “Jugend musiziert”.
All the members of the orchestra are really looking forward to Greece!

Gerd Lanz (*1953) directs the
orchestra since 1983. He attended the state university for music in Düsseldorf
and Cologne.
Mr. Lanz is university laureate; he was a free employee of the “West

several orchestras. Mr. Lanz was a military musician at the “Heeresmusikkorp 10”

Speaking Classic Greek
and reading profound writings
Relaxing in Greece and - at the same time - improving one's language knowledge-
doesn't that sound interesting?
There is only one place where this opportunity is offered. High School and University Students
and adults from different countries meet in a large, shady garden near the sea; together they discover that they can
uphold conversation, read and talk about entertaining
and intellectual texts, all in the language Plato spoke.
At the same time the vacation facility Hellenikon Idyllion also accommodates musicians
and people interested in culture and arts;
lectures and concerts are offered to the guests on several evenings.
It is possible to visit an old antique theatre and watch the performance of a play there.
The Hellenikon Idyllion is located at the northern coast of the Peloponnesian close to Aigio,
a traditional town drawing the attention mostly to Greek guests.
The owner is supporting the seminar in Classic Greek by offering free accommodation
(shared rooms) for the participants if available.
On request he also arranges accommodation in single or double rooms.

Within the first 3 years of their work, the choir dedicated itself to a trilogy of the ancient times:
in May 2003 the music-theatre SOKRATES was being realised (lyrics and music by Prof. Werner Schulze).
In June 2004 it was followed by the dance-music-speech ANCHIBASIE (the idea and the concept for the lyrics
by Prof. Werner Schulze, interior design and choreography by Sebastian Prantl, Dance Atelier Vienna)
In
September 2005 OIDIPUS CROSSOVER (lyrics based on Sophokles, German version of
lyrics by
Winfrid Koppensteiner,
shadow play with traditional Indonesian -Javanese- embodiment.
Gamelan
concept by Werner Schulze.
All performances will take place in the former church of St. Peter on the Sperr,
which is dated in the 13th century.
The church is used as an exhibitionnal church during the summer months, but for
the week, where the activities
around
DITHYRAMBOS are taking place, it is transformed into a sounding room.
Sunday, 21st of August, 10.30 am

For accommodation, see below.
Selianitika is a typical Greek Fishing Village but does not have “Fish and Chips”, “Cups of Tea Like Mother makes”
and “Full English Breakfast” to spoil it. The waterfront and narrow beach, which is an EU Blue Flag beach, is of fine shingle.
There is no tide .
The temperature in August , when we will be there should be around 30C during the day.
(The high summer temperatures are between July 15th and August 15th . )
It is used mainly by Greek people who take a siesta in the afternoon then enjoy themselves until late!
So when in Rome – Greece , do as the locals do.
Hellenikon Idyllion is set amongst orange and fig trees all of which are there for the picking,
with grape vines climbing the pergolas.
The beach is just 10 metres from the front gate,
oleander trees with Hollywood swings and sun-beds that can be used to sleep out
under the stars are dotted around the grounds.
This full time centre for music making offers unique opportunities for orchestral, choral and chamber music.
It is about 3-4 hours from Athens using local buses and trains.
It will be less than that by the chartered bus that will take in the main sights of Athens on the way, that will be arranged.
There are many variations on ways to reach Selianitika, which is close to Patras.
By air from UK - Easyjet and BA, from Gatwick, Olympic or Hellas Air from Heathrow,
Easyjet from Luton amongst others to Athens , By Ferry to Patras from Italy ,
By rail, ferry or road . More information on these choices can be found on the website shown above.
The recommendation is the 06.30 Easyjet from Gatwick. Yes I know,
another early start but it also returns at a sensible time in the afternoon.
The chartered bus will leave the airport around 1430hrs. Depending on flight times notified by April 30th
Rehearsals will take place early in the morning before it gets too hot and again in the cool of the evening.
These will be in a covered stage shell for the orchestra and under the apple trees for the choir.
(Alternative indoor space if wet)
This venue will be very suitable for families and non-musician/singers to share the week.
Accommodation varies with different numbers of beds per unit. All these units have a bathroom and most a kitchen for self-catering.
There is a communal kitchen for others.

Why not make your own arrangements to go elsewhere in Greece ,
before or afterwards.

Entry in our Guestbook from the "Bavarian Classics" Symphony Orchestra:
Dear Andreas,
After we made it back safely, I am now taking the time to thank you and your
whole team in the name of the ensemble and our chief conductor Hans Walter Kämpfel for your
brilliant organisation of the 4 concerts in Greece (in the Theatre of Corinth,
the Temple of Apollo in Argos, the Latin
Theatre in Patra and the American College in Athens) and of course for the
beautiful days we spend at the Hellenikon Idyllion.
The serenade by Mozart, in which the marvelous pianist Marios Kazas was instrumental in accompanying us, gave us tempestuous applause. In the centre of the serenade was the premiere of the ode by Sappho to Aphrodite for coloratura soprano and clarinet solo, all wrapped up in music. The piece was composed by Spiros Mazis specially for the Bavarian Classics and meant a great challenge and an enrichment for all of us. Even though it rained in Argos when we were about to start playing, we kept up our high spirits. Nevertheless the best performance without doubt, resulting out of a perfect organisation by the event organiser, was the one in Athens, in the concert hall of the American College - again, we would like to thank them for their perfect guest support. Another height of our concert tour was the opportunity to perform in the Ancient Theatre in Patra, which one has to experience once in a lifetime.
Last but not least we would like to thank your staff and your trainees, who helped us with the organisation, during the performances and with the transportation of our instruments as well as with technical details. The 10 trainees who accompanied us were very helpful and applicable in many fields. Unfortunately we couldn't invite all trainees.
With best wishes and kind regards
Elfriede Artinger

uphold conversation, read and talk about entertaining
and intellectual texts, all in the language Plato spoke.

and people interested in culture and arts;
lectures and concerts are offered to the guests on several evenings.
It is possible to visit an old antique theatre and watch the performance of a play there.
