Dear Mr. Zick,
We had our concert in Ravensburg - it was a great success. The people came and we had no more chairs for them! They had to stand or sit in front of the windowboard!! It was great.
I send you the newspaper report of the concert - it's written that Sowande was the highlight. My daughter played the harp and I changed one thing: the violin solo was played by my wife on flute. I think it was so much more colourful.
Sorry - the newspaper report is only in German language. Thank you for everything. I wish you a Happy New Year.
Marcus Hartmann
The newspaper headlines were:

Ravensburger Schwörsaal was sold out - highlight of the concert was
