International Informations
Winner of the Open Accordion Contest 2014
"Sing Your Soul" is winner of the famous international competition in Bielefeld/Germany.
It has performed during the "World Music Festival" 2016 in Innsbruck/Austria and the PIF-Festival in Castelfidardo/Italy. Also playing in famous churches as the "Wieskirche", "Heilig-Kreuz-Passions-Kirche"/Berlin, "Karmeliterkirche"/Kloster Mainz, "Stefansfeld-Salem", "Burgkirche Ostheim", "Cathedral Schleswig" and in many chamber music series.
"Unique Constellation"
The combination of different sounding clarinet types with the special tuned Bugari-Concert-Accordion is a unique feature in whole Europe because of the risk of changing clarinets during a concert in the cold of churches. The special arrangements of classical music, traditional and folk style songs always touch the soul of the auditors.
"Own Special Arrangements"
There aren't any arrangements for this special combination of instruments available. Therefore we have to arrange it ourselves:
Johann Sebastian Bach`s work adapted for bass clarinet and accordion, special Klezmer arrangements for alto clarinet and accordion and even new classicals ouevres with soprano saxophone are simply unique.
Listen to very new sound events especially created in the second set of Mozart`s famous concerto for A-clarinet!
"You have to rethink all items that have ever been recognized about the accordion",
Eckernförder Zeitung, January 2017!
"Sensible, informative and homouristic Moderation"
Meike Salzmann`s moderation provides the auditorium with relevant information about the different types of clarinets, the history of both instruments and the pieces of music. Especially the translated lyrics of Argentinian and Finnish tangos create a specific atmosphere for the presented music.
Traditional autumn concert with clarinets and concert accordion in the Burgkirche Ingelheim on Sunday 23 October 2022 at 5:00 pm with the duo "Sing Your Soul" and the programme "Musette meets
Swing - Listening like God in France".
For the fourth time, the popular duo "Sing Your Soul" with Ulrich Lehna (various clarinets) and Meike Salzmann (concert accordion) from the far north of Schleswig-Holstein will be guests at the
Burgkirche Ingelheim and the concerts in the past years were always excellently attended despite Corona. On Sunday 23 October 2022 at 5:00 pm, the lively programme "Musette meets Swing -
Listening like God in France and Clarinet Classics a la Hugo Strasser" will be heard. An appropriate collection for the music is expected. More information at sing-your-soul.jimdofree.com.
The characteristic, fast French musette waltzes, instrumental chansons and swing classics such as "Sail alon silvry moon" and "Petit Fleur" will be heard in the style of the famous clarinettist
Hugo Strasser, who was still on stage with his clarinet at the age of over 90. Musette waltzes are the typical French accordion sounds that immediately conjure up the Eiffel Tower in Paris and
scents of croissants and baguettes. Melodies for dreaming and "coming down" are included, as well as lively, rousing hits from days gone by and dance class time. As always, there will also be
exciting and informative moderations by Meike Salzmann.
This year, the duo from Eckernförde has already completed several concert tours in the south of Germany with over 80 concerts, received much praise from the press and enthused countless music
fans. The tours have taken the duo from East Frisia to Lake Constance, from the Harz Mountains to the Loreley, to the Moselle and to the Rhine. The duo has not only performed in Germany's most
beautiful churches, but also in stately homes, former synagogues and museums. More information at sing-your-soul.jimdo.com
