Gosauer Singwochen 2023
For more than 60 years, the Salzkammergut has been the attractive backdrop for a special music project: in Gosau at the foot of the imposing Dachstein massif, musical people from Germany and many other European countries meet in the summertime for the Gosauer Singwochen (ecumenical church music study weeks). The artistic director is the regional church music director Jochen Steuerwald from Speyer (Germany). During the day individual hiking, sightseeing and relaxation fill the program. The evening is reserved for intensive rehearsals. The culmination of the fourteen-day stay will be three concerts in which the participants will present the musical program they have developed together with renowned soloists and with instrumental support.
So that the musical holiday can become a real family activity, even the little ones are not left out: a children's choir project has been integrated for many years. Vera Steuerwald is in charge here. She is a singing teacher and youth music educator and has been successfully conducting children's choirs for many years.
Courses in organ playing with district cantor Tobias Markutzik and choir conducting with state church music director Jochen Steuerwald complete the offer.
