The starting situation in 2023: …..in 2024, it will be that time again. The Hartic Music Club from Tisno (Dalmatia/Croatia) will visit us for a few days in Nanzdietschweiler once more. After the difficulties of the pandemic, we will hopefully visit each other again, taking turns every two years. We were already able to strengthen the friendship in 2022 with a wonderful trip to Tisno and look forward to seeing you again in 2024.

Since we are already starting the planning today, we would like to address you as a supporter, and we hope to win you as a donor. Among other things, we would like to visit the “Völklingen Ironworks” World Heritage Site. Afterwards, a joint meal is planned in the “Bistro B40” – located directly at the Völklingen Ironworks. Another excursion, this one to the Schlossberg Caves Homburg and a visit to the Karlsberg Brewery are also planned. Furthermore, we hope to host a convivial “friendship evening” with live music, entertainment, food, etc. – guests will be welcome. Joint rehearsals and a musical exchange will further inspire the long friendship of the two music associations. The highlight, as with every visit: a big concert of the HARTIC music club. We need technical support (sound and light) for this, among other things. Some other expenses, such as for advertising, etc. are also to be expected. Afterwards, a joint graduation ceremony will take place.

So much for a brief insight into the plans. Since we have only been able to improve our budget with small funds in recent years, due to a lack of performances due to the pandemic, we would be very grateful to receive your support…

This is how we first turned to you.

Today we would like to thank you, the Hans-Thomann Foundation, very much for reacting to our letter at all. This is not a matter of course these days. Unfortunately, financial support from the Thomann company was not possible, but we were immediately encouraged to get in touch with the Hans Thomann Foundation and ask for material support.

No sooner said than done… successful contact was established immediately.

A list of required equipment was compiled, taking into account our needs for the meeting in April with our friends from Croatia, our planned concerts and musical events in 2024, but also for our concert tour to Italy in 2025. Thus, we were able to put together a short list, which we passed on to the Hans-Thomann Foundation.

We were very pleased to receive your affirmative reply, and our members are thrilled to now be able to use some equipment that we would otherwise have had to pay for ourselves from our budget. This not only adds value to our work and makes things easier, it also perfectly improves our commitment to brass music on site in the near future, but also with regard to our concert tour to Italy in 2025.

On behalf of all members of the Nanzdietschweiler music club, we would like to thank the Hans Thomann Foundation, its sponsors and supporters. We will continue to publish their “logo” on flyers and posters in the future and point out their great support.
