Worldwide concert:
What do Buenos Aires, Dresden, Cologne, Dar es Salaam and the 273-soulvillage
Grossromstedt near Weimar have in common? They all have bells
made in Apolda and they are all taking part in the Global Bell Concert
on the 11th August 2007 – just like Magdeburg, Rome, Boston,
Lützelflüh in the Emmental valley in Switzerland, Kathmandu
in Nepal and Tanunda in Southern Australia...
The bell-founding tradition in Apolda comes
alive every four years with a homage to the worldwide bell
culture. For the third time after 1999 and 2003, the small
Thuringian town will be the technical heart of a global
concert with experimental charms. The Global Bell Concert
lives up to its name – it does not only take place
on Apolda’s market square but also on simultaneous
bell festivals all around the world. And with the help
of internet and television broadcasts it can be witnessed
everywhere on earth.
Under the title Bells are music, the MDR
(Central German Broadcasting) will simulcast the happening
from Apolda, Dresden and Magdeburg and will show live coverage
from Apolda’s bell partners all over the world. From
3:15 pm to 4:30 pm, the complex live programme will be
on the air. In addition to MDR’s coverage, the concert
can also be watched as a live-stream on the internet on
MDR-Online.
Lützelflüh:
As in 2003, the bell festival in the village in the Swiss Emmental
will be staged by Paul Christ and Thomas Bertschi from the Rainbow
Project and connected live with Apolda. We will be able to hear
and see the ringing of the bells in Gotthelf-Church in Lützelflüh,
the sounds of many bells brought by visitors and the pealing of
the bulky cowbells performed by the Treichel group from Schwanden.
