Bludesh. (sco) The Bär family music group and organist Irene Roth-Halter gave their audience a musical treat when they performed together in the Bludesch parish church.
In collaboration with ORF Vorarlberg, the 53rd International Bludescher Organ Concerts 2023 will take place this year. The performers of the third concert late on Sunday followingnoon were Irene Roth-Halter (titular organist at the parish church of St. Stephan in Konstanz and organ lecturer at the University of Education) on the Silbermann-Bergöntzle organ and the Bär family music group, which has now existed for 40 years, with Astrid and Claudia (horn), Bernhard and Johannes (trumpet) and Stefan (tuba). In the parish church of St. James the Elder, works by Bernhard, Astrid and Johannes Bär as well as Franz Schubert, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Louis-Nicolas Clerambault and others were heard.
“The whole concert was a pleasure. I am glad to have attended the event. I’ve known Hausmusik Bär for a long time. We will have them with us next year in the first half of September at our Montafoner Resonances music festival, with a focus on organ music,” said hotelier Markus Felbermayer, organizational director of the festival, following the concert. Thomas Witzer, a teacher at the Walgau Music School for 30 years (majoring in trombone) and also bandmaster of a Liechtenstein music club, was also full of joy: “It was a really great concert. The folk music pieces played were very special. If you know the musicians, like the Bär family music here, it’s a different experience. The organist was a virtuoso. When it comes to family music, I particularly liked the folk music pieces because they play them well and can do them – it’s their profession. The organist has adapted well. In some cases she left classical music and went into folk music.”
Surprise for composer’s son
“The event was fantastic,” cheered Charly Worsch, chairman of the Friends of the Bergöntzle Organ Association. “The interaction between organ and brass music happened in a way that you don’t usually know, namely folk and classical, and it worked well.” There was a surprise at the concert for the organist Hannes Wiederin from Schruns: “At the end the performers played “Brunella”. It’s a song by my father Bruno Wiederin; “That really touched me.” The final concert of the 53rd Bludesch Organ Concerts will take place on Sunday, October 29th, at 5 p.m. in the Bludesch parish church, with Bruno Oberhammer on the Silbermann-Bergöntzle organ and the Göfner Viergesang as Schola Gregoriana under the direction of Andreas Lampert.
