İELEV Private High School Student Kaan Baysal Recounts His Musical Journey in Germany
I‘ve gotten to seize the opportunity to spend a spectacular week by attending to a series of masterclasses and public concerts which were implemented in Germany between March 24th-30th. I spent an efficient and loamy week full of exuberant enthusiasm with my great teacher and my friends who had participated in the previous „Lang Lang International Music Foundation - Allianz Junior Music Camp“s the United States of America, Britain, South Africa,Spain, China, Italy, Germany and South Korea. I’m so deeply grateful to my teacher Professor Wolfram Schmitt Leonardy for all his support, fascinating musical guidance and everything he has taught me. My friends and I have executed four performances in public, starting with the concert that we gave in Riegelsberg Rathaus. The audience hugged and applauded us with their sincere and cordial countenance. As our second halt, we were transferred to Mannheim from Saarland. I had the opportunity to work with Professor Rudolf Meister in Mannheim Musik Hochschule. By attending to his masterclasses, I‘ve learned so much precious and meritorious information about Chopin. The day we had our masterclasses, we also performed a concert in the school‘s hall, in Kammersaal. For the third concert, we went to a music shop which is located in Saarland in the vicinity of Saar Dillingen. We had the chance to visit a shop which included a variety of pianos belonging to a wide range of historical periods together with baroque era‘s instruments. We had so much fun and conviviality full of with jollification and merriment by playing the piano with 4 or 6 hands. We were also simply elated and gladdened with the gratification by converting and grinding out our ideas into our ideational compositions which we were creating with such of joy and the playfulness which were being dragged along with our improvisations:). And the final concert of the masterclass was effectuated with Deutschland Bundespolizei Orchestra in Saarlouis, Vereinhaus in Fraulautern in the evening of 29th March. I played the Gershwin Piano Concerto under the baton of Jos Zegers. I would like to thank our great conductor Jos Zegers and orchestera members who braced us with their intimate and comradely bolster. During all these occasions, as being a student at IELEV Private High School, I’ve represented my school, and my country with such an honor full of dignity and pride. I‘d love to thank all my teachers, the administrators, and especially our school principals Herr Schopp and Gülseren Aslan with my most sincere and faithful regards, I’m so grateful.
