Marcus Hartmann writes today:

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:
