Fourth Classical Music Evening in a Lutheran
church in Liesing, Vienna (23rd district), organized by students
of vocal music instructor Helga Dersch, repertoire, photos.
Thankfully I was able to give a good performance (the others
were excellent as well, of course), the unpleasant incident
of the preceding year was forgotten and I am optimistic about
performing other such concerts in the future...

December: |
Christmas story Scrooge played at the
Theaterbühne Bunt Gemischt, the new version included
more music and songs, such as songs performed by the Ghost
Rattling his Chains and the Ghost of Christmas Present.!
The melody was originally composed by Claudine Gerrits, but
a fact that isn?t mentioned is that 3 of the 7 songs that
are incorporated into the play were adapted by me. On stage
I was only responsible for singing one song however: the
song of the Ghost with Chains, photos

|
7. December: |
Original Vienna Brothers Xmas Special
at the Theaterbühne Bunt Gemischt, photos,
in my opinion, an excellent evening. For the first time we
also played gospel music (Oh Come All Ye Faithful and Amazing
Grace). This caused me to be somewhat nervous, but in the
end both the audience and I myself were very happy with the
performance.
