Last Saturday, 7 September, we celebrated the opening of our new premises at Kraftwerk Mitte, Lichtwerk 14, in the best summer weather and with many guests.
Lars Seiffert (SachsenEnergie board member) and Annekatrin Klepsch (Mayor for Culture, Science and Tourism of the state capital Dresden) warmly congratulated our music school director Kati Hellmuth on moving in and presented her with the symbolic key. Our big band ‘Bigbandexplosion’ delighted the audience with great groovy songs in the unique ambience of the Historische Schaltwarte, our new orchestra rehearsal hall.
Under the motto ‘We are colourful!’, the seventh Kraftwerk Mitte festival took place from 11 am. Concerts, dancing, hands-on activities and guided tours were organised throughout the site. We were also there with our dancers (also together with the go plastic company in the ASPHALT performance), the girls‘ choir, the boys’ choir, the Benjamin Orchestra and a Latin percussion improvisation performance by the percussion department.
Our guests were also able to take a look at our new rooms during several guided tours.
PS: Our big band is still looking for new trombone and trumpet players! Please contact the school office (tel. 0351 82826-45/-46/-47 or schuelerbuero@hskd.de).
