  "One piano and many stories" - Podium concert by lecturers and specialist classes from the music school's piano department on May 23, 2025

  On Friday, May 23, 2025 at 6 p.m., the time has finally come: the restored grand piano in the small hall of the music school will be inaugurated. Up to eight hands will simultaneously rush over the keys and conjure up a smile on the faces of the guests with music by Joplin, Fauré and the "Galop-Marche" by Lavignac. Rainer Steinkamp, the former artistic director of the Scharoun Theater Wolfsburg, will read humorous stories and texts about the piano.

  "With this soiree, we are not only celebrating a freshly tuned and repaired instrument, but also the lively combination of music and language - full of charm, wit and great joy in playing. I am delighted that we have been able to secure Rainer Steinkamp as a performer for this event. This shows the good networking of cultural professionals in Wolfsburg," - said Matthias Klingebiel, director of the music school. Steinkamp took over the directorship of the Scharoun Theater Wolfsburg in 2008. He managed the theater until 2020 and returned to this position in the summer of 2023.
  The Verein der Freunde und Förderer der Musikschule der Stadt Wolfsburg e.V. financed the restoration of the concert grand piano. Thanks to the instrument and the new floor in the small hall of the music school, the concert promises to be an acoustic treat.
  Free tickets are available at musikschule@stadt.wolfsburg.de.

  Admission to this event is free.

• Music school teachers on CD!

  Sub5 - krismes and Ensemble Ciaconna

  This Corona winter, the pupils and teachers of the Wolfsburg City Music School will once again be singing and making music. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, it is not possible for them to present their skills live. This makes it all the nicer and more important that the music school's teachers are excellent musicians themselves and can present themselves on CDs.
  
  There have certainly been better times to release CDs. But precisely because 2020 can do with a bit of glitter and festive cheer, Juliette Jacobsen, vocal teacher at the music school, and her a capella formation Sub5 have released krismes for the first Advent: their first CD with Christmas and winter songs. In nine songs, the five singers from Hanover prove themselves to be first-class ambassadors in the Christmas field of tension between contemplation, traditions and Coca-Cola kitsch. Softly trickling snow, Mary walking through a mystical and magical thorn forest and meeting swinging Bing Crosby and Destiny's Child: a piece of Christmas in these turbulent times.
  

  They were able to win over the multi-award-winning a cappella specialist Joshua Bredemeier (Hörbänd) as producer. In a normal year, there would be dates for concerts here. But like many other players in the cultural sector, Sub5 have been hit particularly hard by the coronavirus crisis. The CD can be ordered by e-mail for 15.00 euros plus shipping. It has also been available to listen to on all popular streaming platforms since 27.11.2020.

  
  A real insider tip is the "Ensemble Ciaconna", to which three lecturers from the Wolfsburg City Music School have joined forces to devote themselves to their great passion - baroque music. The musicians Katrin Heidenreich (recorder/traverse flute), Negin Habibi (baroque guitar/keyboard guitar) and Charlotte Kiefer (baroque cello) have been inspiring audiences on national and international stages for many years and have used the Corona summer to record their debut album, which was released at the end of November.
  
  

  The album features works by well-known Baroque masters such as Bach, Telemann and Corelli, as well as musical gems by less famous composers. CD orders can be placed via the website www.ciaconna.de/kontakt for 15.00 euros plus shipping.
