So we got a review in the Juterbog paper. Here is the link to the original article.
And here is the English translation, kindly done by Isa Sinclair.
Church with recording quality
The opening event was worth it: The Youth Orchestra
from the Canadian City Calgary gave a charity concert for the restoration of
the Rühlmann-Organ.
Despite the free admission a lot of donations were collected.
A beginning is made: On Thursday a total
of 1068,21 Euros was donated for the restoration of the Rühlmann-Organ by the audience of the charity concert in
the Nikolai Church of Jüterbog.
More than 200 people came to the
Donation-Opening with a Symphony-Concert-Evening.
Among others the Youth Orchestra played
works by Beethoven, Mozart but also Bach.
Concert with recording quality
Already with their first piece, the
brilliantly played “Reformation-Symphony” by Mendelssohn for the opening, they
had the audience on their side. Applause lasting for several minutes rewarded
the young musicians. And the Orchestra itself was impressed at the end:
Conductor Edmond Agopian praised the excellent acoustics in the church in Jüterbog, “ this here has recording
quality”, he raved after the concert. He promised that he would like to come
back to Jüterbog with his orchestra one day.
