All together now! on 13 November 2021

Charity concert featuring students from the musical school in aid of the Freundeskreis Musical e.V., held at the Waldreitersaal in Großhansdorf in collaboration with the Kulturring Großhansdorf e.V..

The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the theatre world hard across the globe. Whether on Broadway in New York, in London’s West End or even in Germany, performances were effectively banned from one moment to the next.

Gradually, around a year and a half later, theatres are slowly emerging from their slumber and are able – albeit mostly under strict conditions – to resume performances. It is already becoming clear that the theatre world has undergone fundamental changes: many organisations have not survived the pandemic, and those working in the arts have been forced to find new directions – not to mention those who have died or are suffering from Long Covid.

Thanks to innovative approaches, the Musicalschule Ahrensburg did not have to cancel a single lesson during the pandemic and was able to continue teaching, at least online or in a hybrid format. In the process, Jacqui Dunnley-Wendt

and Hauke Wendt

(the couple behind the Musicalschule Ahrensburg) also realised just how much the musical school means to its students and what a source of support their work has been for so many during a turbulent, unfamiliar and anxious time.

In order to help young and not necessarily professional artists with the challenges they face – some of which were made particularly apparent by the pandemic – the couple joined forces with like-minded individuals at the start of 2021 to found the non-profit association Freundeskreis Musical e.V.

, with Hauke Wendt elected as its first chairperson.

Meanwhile, the New York-based theatre publisher MTI has put together a gala entitled ‘All together now!

’, in which, with the help of 15 songs and a few surprises, theatre professionals can send a message that they are still here and that they are trying to make a comeback together and with renewed strength. This gala, entitled “All together now!”, will be performed worldwide by over 4,500 organisations in 40 countries (in Germany, however, exclusively here!) – but only on the second weekend of November this year! To give these organisations – many of which have been severely hit financially – a chance to get back on their feet through these performances, the publisher and the rights holders of the featured pieces are waiving the royalties and publishing fees to which they are actually entitled for these exclusive performances!

That is why students from the Musicalschule Ahrensburg would like to stage this gala at the Waldreitersaal in Großhansdorf, in collaboration with Kulturring Großhansdorf e.V., in aid of Freundeskreis Musical e.V. and, in doing so, send out an important message: we’re back: https://youtu.be/ZO1JO603-Rk
