Celebratory anniversary: Liederkranz Schönbronn inspires in Effringen!
In the Marienkirche in Effringen, the Liederkranz Schönbronn held an impressive concert to celebrate Christian Platschko's tenth anniversary as conductor. Under the motto “Magnificat,” the choir offered a varied program that included both sacred and secular songs from five different languages. The performances ranged from meditative psalm settings to traditional folk songs to modern compositions and reflected the diversity and depth of choral music. This is reported by the Schwarzälder messenger.
Pastor Bettina Morlock praised the commitment of Platschko, who has shaped the choir over a decade with musical skill and dedication. Her words of praise about the choice of songs and the wonderful atmosphere in the church were rewarded with much applause from the listeners. A standing ovation demonstrated the appreciation for the conductor's performances and work.

The context of choral music
Choral music has a long tradition in many cultures. In the Baltics, for example, there is a deeply rooted choir life that has been cultivated over generations. So reported scandinavia.eu from Riga's impressive choir festivals, which take place every five years and uphold Latvia's cultural identity. These festivals, which have often had political significance in the past, are an expression of national identity and community.
Particularly notable is the “singing revolution” in Latvia, where over 500,000 people sang old folk songs in 1990, leading to a strong cultural movement. In Effringen, too, the anniversary of the Liederkranz Schönbronn shows that music is not just entertainment, but also represents a strong bond for the community. In this regard, one could say that Christian Platschko's work is important not only for the choir, but also for the entire community.
Numerous spectators appreciated the performance that evening, and the entire event consolidated the Schönbronn Liederkranz's place in the region's cultural landscape. With its performances, the choir has impressively demonstrated that music reaches people's hearts and connects them in the best possible way.
