An unforgettable concert: The project choir inspires in Tailfingen

in the St. Mauritiuskirche Stetten A.K.M. There was recently an impressive musical event that was important far beyond the concert. Under the direction of Uwe Wagner, a project choir with around 100 singers performed the big peace fair of Gotthilf Fischer. This trade fair, which was originally created for the then American President Jimmy Carter in 1978, has gained completely new relevance in recent years. The event was both a tribute to the composer and a powerful manifesto for peace in troubled times.

An evening full of emotions and tensile force

The Mauritiuskirche was filled to the last place that evening, which both the community and the choir members delighted. Pastor Markus Manter opened the concert with introductory words in which he expressed his wish to preach more often from such a large crowd. This wish is underlined by the emotional response that the audience showed. After the performance, the hall rose to stand, a sign of deep respect and appreciation for the artists.

The inspiration of the world situation

In her speech, Martina Löffler presented the creation of the project choir. She referred to the global unrest that motivated Uwe Wagner to perform the peace fair. This initiative focuses on music and illustrates how artistic forms of expression can contribute to reflection on peace. In her speech, Löffler also asked the rhetorical question: "What is there more important things than peace in these troubled times?"

Memory of Gotthilf Fischer

Martina Löffler from then on reported on the moving life of Gotthilf Fischer. After a traumatic front use in World War II, when he was just 17 years old, Fischer devoted his work to the peace message. These experiences found their precipitation in the peace mass, especially in the "credo". Here it becomes clear how music is used as a medium to process deep personal and collective experiences.

The strength of singing together

The challenge of combining the various singers into a homogeneous chorus, Uwe Wagner mastered with his usual expertise and patience. "It is an honor to be able to perform this fair today," said Löffler. In the end, the organist Hans-Peter Merz from the Zollernalbkreis also received great applause when he gave the audience with "Power of Life" by Mons Leidvin Takle. The musical accompaniment, including instrumentalists such as Walter Ruh and Bernd Werner, made a decisive contribution to the impressive performance.

A sign of community

The presence of former members of the fishing choirs, who sat in the audience together with the former manager Esther Müller, was particularly moving. The positive feedback from the population testifies to a deep rooting of this musical tradition in the community. The desire to continue the choir musically reflects the need to revitalize art and community.

In summary, it can be said that the concert in the St. Mauritiuskirche was not only a musical event, but also made a significant contribution to the social discourse on peace and community. The artists and organizers understood to use music as a platform for peace and social responsibility. Medicines for the soul that can pave the way into a hopeful future in the form of melodies and texts.
