Making music happily ever after
The more than 40 participants in the music vacation at the Arenenberg in Salenstein were enthusiastic. You can already register for next year's course.
The view of Untersee from Arenenberg is simply fantastic. Napoleon III thought so when he built a castle in Salenstein in Thurgau. Anna Gassner was also convinced that it was the right place to spend an enjoyable vacation when she and her fellow musicians set up a music camp for adults five years ago. Right from the start, the organizing committee received support from the Thurgau Cantonal Music Association and the Thurgau Music Schools Association.
Relaxation, culinary delights and making music together - this was also the motto of this year's active vacation, which took place in the last week of July, as in previous years. Over 40 participants registered and enthusiastically made music under the expert guidance of conductors Bruno Uhr and Roland A. Huber. Four additional music teachers were brought in for rehearsals, workshops and ensembles.
The feedback was extremely positive. One participant wrote: "I was simply happy as can be." In a first meeting, the OC has now taken stock and discussed how participants' wishes can be taken into account and in which direction the music vacations should continue to develop in the coming years. After the past five years, one thing is clear: the increasing number of participants shows that there is a need for active music vacations. In order to ensure the continuation of the program, a supporting association is to be founded in the near future.
The hotel and training rooms have already been booked again for the Arenenberg Music Holidays 2018 from Tuesday, July 24 to Friday, July 27, and registration is now open:
