Adventssingen

On the Sunday after term ended the Gemeinde music school gave an Advent concert, in the local catholic church.

The childrens’ choir led the audience in singing about 12 carols from different countries, and the instrumentalists played some really lovely arrangements of some early/Baroque style pieces – effectively arranged for light wind instruments and including one wind instrument I’ve never seen in my life. It was situated in the recorder section and looked like something off Dr Who. And there I shall stop my description for fear of revealing myself as a complete ignoramus, it’s probably a well known instrument over here. The musical standard was very impressive, and it made a charming end to the term and start of Christmas week.
