Stars shine in Wittenburg: Spanish sounds from Leipzig

For the 12th time the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Music Festival has graced the region. This year again we supported the festival financially, and invited partners from the private and public sectors, as well as employees, to an almost otherworldly concert. The Amarcord vocal ensemble gave listeners in the packed Bartholomäus church in Wittenburg goosebumps. These five exceptional singers from Leipzig, all former members of the Thomaner Choir, harmonize so perfectly that they sound like a single vocal instrument, yet cover the range of an entire orchestra. Together with selected instrumentalists, they presented gripping and beautiful interpretations of Spanish Renaissance music, to well-deserved standing ovations from the audience.

Before the concert we received our guests in our FlourWorld Museum. Art is especially important to company founder Volkmar Wywiol. “Flour and art are two staples, and we’re proud to make a contribution to both.” A commitment to art and culture in the region has a long tradition at the Stern-Wywiol Gruppe. “We see our support as a thank-you to the people here. As an employer we feel an obligation to the community that goes beyond the individuals who work for us,” said CEO Torsten Wywiol.
