Musikverein Schollach e.V
On 9 February 1958, the Musikverein Schollach was brought to life at its founding meeting. However, the Musikverein was not founded in a hurry, but was preceded by a period in which the future musicians were trained.
Beschreibung
It was 1955 when the first founding member and driving force, Wolfgang Weißer, wanted to learn to play an instrument. He was encouraged by his brother, who played in the brass band in the neighbouring town of Urach. He quickly ordered a trumpet and received two by mistake. So he looked for a colleague with whom he learnt to play the trumpet. Their instructor was Stefan Heizmann from Eisenbach, a well-known and sought-after conductor at the time. Other Schollachers of the same age were infected by their enthusiasm, so that by the end of 1957 a team of 20 musicians had come together to play. The first performances were also organised at this time. The first conductor was Stefan Heizmann, who had trained most of the musicians. He was active until 1978. His successor was Wolfgang Weißer, whose wish had provided the initial spark for the association. Since its foundation, the association has had six board members and eight conductors.
The association is a member of the Blasmusikverband Black Forest Highlands e.V. The greatest successes were a 1st place with honours in the lower level in 1961 and the same rank in the intermediate level in 1995.
The performance level is currently between the intermediate and advanced levels. At the annual concert, modern brass music literature is favoured in the upper section. The summer programme is dominated by traditional brass music.
The focus of the association's work is on training. This is divided into early musical education, the flute group and instrumental training. These sub-areas are run by volunteers. The association currently has 38 active musicians and 3 pupils. The average age of the pupils is 27.
