Memorial Concert for Gerd Lünenbürger at „Crescendo Festival“
In the concert hall of the University of the Arts in Berlin a special and somewhat depressing atmosphere was present. Recorder performers from whole Europe were assembled to dedicate their performances to the recorder player and teacher on the UdK Berlin – Gerd Lünenbürger, who died last october. He left an empty space among his friends, students and admirers – most of them from a musical circuit. There were a lot of musical touching moments. Next to Trio Dreiklang (Berlin), Carsten Eckert (Bern), Juan Izquierdo (Barcelona), panta rhei (Berlin), Han Tol (Amsterdam) and Tomma Wessel (Brüssel) QNG performed „Arak“ by Petros Ovsepyan, a fugue by Dmitri Schostakowitsch and two five-part consort pieces by Christopher Tye together with Han Tol.
