Godmother of Punk - Nina Hagen
I grew up with the music of Nina, who literally shouted everything out into the world that she didn’t agree with in society and had no qualms about breaking every unwritten rule and offending as many people as possible.

VG Orchester Kell am See
For the opening of the German Cultural Semester 2020 we had foreseen creating an atmosphere like that of a typical little German festival with typical food, typical drinks and typical music. The idea of bringing a brass band to play the anthems during the opening and to kickoff the semester with a Festa Tedesca in Ranco with music by the same band came up and took shape rather quickly. The VG Orchestra from Saarburg-Kell, the home town of Vice President Jutta Thielen-del Pozo, were very enthusiastic and in negotiation with Jürgen Sokull, all details were quickly fixed despite the difficulty of finding space for more than 50 musicians.
