Bear Symphony - Harmony

Dear followers,

on July the 3rd, during the final concert of NORDKLANG, I was handed over from the Gothenburg Youth Choir to Aarhus Girls Choir to continue my journey around the world. Hence, my stay in beautiful Denmark was very short, because Aarhus Girls Choir were off to Canada on the 5th. Together with their conductor, Helle Høyer, they were going to participate in two categories at the 14th Choral Kathaumixw. And boy, I was glad to travel with this particular group of girls! They became 2nd in the category "Contemporary Music" and 1st in the category "Youth Choir". At the final concert they were awarded with the prize for "Best Performance of a Canadian Work" - AND on top of that they received the "Choir of the World"-award, which means that they beated all the other winning choirs. What a great moment! So you can imagine, that I heard a lot of beautiful singing during that week. One of my other favourites at the Kathaumixw was the Secondary Students Choir from New Zealand. Luckily my friends from Aarhus Girls Choir agreed with me to let me carry on my journey with this choir. So that's it: I'm off to New Zealand.

Lots of love,

Dear friends,  

On June 29th Bear Harmony went with Gothenburg Youth Choir by the ferry "Stena Lineé from Gothenburg, Sweden to Frederikshavn, Denmark and then to Aarhus and the choral festival "NORDKLANG 14". Now, the Aarhus Gril's Choir has a long journey to go because Helle Hoyer, the conductor of Aarhus Girl's choir goes to Canada with her choir and, of course, with Bear Harmony! Probably Bear Harmony will go to Australia after having been in Canada!

Dear friends,  May 19th I already left my friends of the Adolf Fredrik Musikklassers flickkör in Stockholm, conducted by Bo Johansson, and joined for almost a fortnight the Brunnsbo musikklassers flickkör, conducted by Anne Johansson. During their big Jubilee concert in the Gothenborg Concert Hall for the Brunnsbo music classes 25th anniversary, I was handed to the Gothenborg Youth Choir. Oh, how I love Sweden and my Swedish friends. But I'll soon continue my trip and will travel to Denmark! Exciting, isn't it? The Gothenborg Youth Choir soon will take me along to NORDKLANG in Denmark where they'll meet a few other youth choirs. One of these choirs will take me along to their home town and help me to continue my world tour. Many regards and see you soon!
Bear Harmony.

I’m particularly looking forward to meet the audience who get-together at the Halle market square May 8th. After having enjoyed many Hallo citizens by walking along the “Singing Mile” and singing in front of the shops of the Halle Boulevard, all participating choirs will gather on the market square to sing together.

I wait impatiently for meeting George Friedrich Händel, who was born in Halle and whose monument is the central eye catcher of the market square. What a pity I’ll have to say “Goodbye” again to the “Ulrich von Hutten” Children’s choir! But new adventures are waiting for me as I’ll be travelling to Sweden with the Adolf Fredriks Girls’ Choir of Stockholm. Sweet regards and I'll keep you informed about my Swedish journey, Bear Harmony.

 

 

Hi ,  I’m Bear Harmony and at the moment I’m living with the “Ulrich von Hutten” Children’s Choir in Halle / Saale (Germany) . In the spring of 2010, during the 58 European Music Festival for Young People Neerpelt, the choir welcomed me in its family in order to let me join some beautiful musical events.

From May 6th th 2010 the “Ulrich von Hutten” singers and I will be allowed to participate in the International Children’s Choir Festival in Halle. The participation of our choir in a workshop with other choirs in the Halle Opera House will be particularly exciting. Among other titles, the Swedish choirmaster Bo Johansson will be working on “Aglepta” with us, which we already heard at the Happening in Neerpelt.

 

Just before taking off to Germany, I asked my buddy-bears (which happen to be computer freaks) to google for some pictures of me.  If I don't make it in the music industry, I 'll go for a carreer as a model or a moviestar !

Finally : on Monday May 3rd I will be leaving together with boys and girls of the childrenschoir "Ulrich von Hutten" to Germany : destination Halle / Saale.  I"ve been waiting a long time for this and I am really looking forward to meet new people and enjoy other cultures.  Visit my blog for new adventures.

Just as during the 57th edition of the EMJ, this year, the orginazors will send a teddy bear on a journey around the world again. Bear "Harmony" will be given to the conductor of an international choir on Sunday the 2nd of May. The intent is that bear "Harmony" will travel from youth choir to youth choir and from country to country during two years to arrive in Neerpelt again at the beginning of May 2012, during the 60th EMY.   Bear "Harmony" will certainly get promotion for the EMY and he'll let choirs by who he stayed as a guest regularly send news concerning his experiences to the EMY secretariat in Neerpelt. Just like with the journey of bear "Symfony" you'll be able to follow the journey of bear "Harmony" on this website as well.
