Outstanding performances by the participants of the music school volkacher mainschleife at the state competition in the solo/duo competition in marktoberdorf. The highest score was awarded a total of three times. Also the rest of the field of participants showed the jurors the highest respect.
Lukas mauckner (euphonium with excellent results and national winner), verena haberkorn (clarinet with excellent results), georg binzenhofer (trombone with very good results) and philipp nicola (tuba with very good results) all young talents from the ranks of the volkach brass orchestra. Franz josef pschierer, who hosted this year’s state competition as president of the allgau-swabian music association, emphasized the importance of musical education in music schools and music clubs. For here, the children and young people not only received a profound musical education, but also key qualifications that will serve them well in later life.
35 hours of music
how good the training really is was once again demonstrated by the results in the solo/duo competition. 165 solo or duo performances were judged by eight three-person jury teams. A total of 35 hours of wind music were performed in the rooms of the bavarian music academy in marktoberdorf, in the town hall and in the rehearsal room of the stadtkapelle marktoberdorf.
At the closing ceremony, some of the young musicians once again showed their skills and proved that they were right to receive their high scores. Among them was lukas mauckner with his euphonium, one of three soloists who received the full score (100 points) in the competition.
Known jurors
among the jurors were the couple weinzierl-wachter (fife) and the professors harald harrer (clarinet) and thomas horch (trombone). "The fact that musicians of such renown are participating in this competition as jurors speaks for the value that the competition has reached in the meantime", said andreas grandl, the responsible speaker and organizer of the competition.
