Soonwaldorchester e. V.
Wind Band 1st division
Bio
The “Soonwaldorchester e.V.” was established in 1956. Since 1969, the orchestra has taken part in competitions organized by the district and state music associations of Rhineland-Palatinate. The Soonwaldorchester e.V. has competed in the advanced level and received the rating “very good” each time. Its first international contest was at the WMC Kerkrade 2005. Since 1987, the orchestra has organized an annual concert, usually performing literature of grade 5. In 2017, Sebastian Lastein became the conductor of the orchestra — a young, highly talented professional conductor. With his exceptionally transparent conducting, great musical sensitivity and distinctive pedagogical skills, he has led our musicians to new heights of achievement, as demonstrated at the German National Music Festival (“Deutsches Musikfest”) in 2019, where we competed in the superior category and received the highest rating “With Outstanding Success.” At the WMC 2022 in Kerkrade, the orchestra achieved the highest score in the 3rd division, winning a world championship title. The jurors remarked that the orchestra should have played in a higher category, which is why we applied for the First Division this time. At the “Flicorno d’Oro 2024” competition in Riva, the orchestra won third place in the highest category, “Categoria Eccellenza.
