Four choirs from the Patnerstadt perform on Sunday from 2 p.m. on the Bornesquare
Rheine. International classics of the Pop, Shantys and Piratenlieder, works of Mozart and Schubert as well as easy classics of the maintenance music – it should be present for each music taste something, if it is called on Sunday starting from 14 o’clock in the center in the city: “Borne musiziert “. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the town twinning, the town twinning association Rheine has invited music-making groups from Borne to provide the music for the street party Sunday on Bornesquare. For four hours the visitors can be spoiled musically with coffee and cake, gladly also sing and clap along. Roland Busch, a member of the legendary Münster group “Sechszylinder,” will lead the program.
But first of all, the mayors of the two twin towns will kick off the event: Jan Pierik and Dr. Peter Lüttmann. They will open the event and, after welcoming the guests, cut a large anniversary cake. Those who don’t quite get their money’s worth can choose from a wide selection. There will be coffee and cake galore.
The 25-member group “Born to pop” will kick things off. They sing mainly English-language pop music, but a number of Dutch songs are also part of the repertoire, which spans the entire period from the 1970s to the present, from the Doobie Brothers to Lady Gaga, from David Bowie to Small Orchestra. The four- to six-part vocal arrangements are conducted and instrumentally supported.
The “Melbuul’n Piratenkoor” already celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024. He performs around Borne, now also in Rheine. Also in Nordhorn, Wilhelmshaven, Bremerhaven and Paderborn one already made music. Dressed up as real pirates, English and German songs and shanties are performed in addition to Dutch songs.
The women’s choir “Cantabile” has light classical music and classics of light music in its repertoire. Cantabile is a choir of the music school department of “Kulturhuis De Bijenkorf”. It recently celebrated its 25th anniversary.
Every Monday evening, 25 enthusiastic men of the “Borns Kleinkoor” come together to sing under the inspiring direction of conductor Bram van der Beek. In the more than 75 years of their existence they have built up a large and very varied repertoire. Annually there is the Christmas concert, usually held in the Oude Kerk in Borne. In addition, the Borns Kleinkoor offers a rich variety of music in a Byzantine atmosphere.
The focus this year is mainly on a somewhat lighter style of music, where the melody line is mostly with the second tenors. The classical repertoire is not neglected either, as the choir enjoys singing works by Schubert, Haydn and Mozart.
The twinning association is pleased to welcome to this event also many visitors from Borne, guests from Trakai and exchange students from Leiria. The event will end around 6 pm.
