Gesangstechnischer Hilfsdienst

In the artist's words:

Experience exclusively how trivial literature has sounded over the centuries

The choir for the romance novel - it only exists once in the world

The choir founder and artistic director Ilka Maria Brandt writes curious stories about love, fame and jealousy and performs them with great verve for the audience. The Gesangstechnische Hilfsdienst (GTHD), consisting of around 20 ladies, supports her with dedicated seriousness and subtly prepared songs from five centuries. With their singing, they frame the plot and events in the love story in several voices or comment on the action with musical interjections. Together, this unusual potpourri results in a passionate and comic melo(die)drama on the edge of high culture.

Under the subtle and wonderful musical director and conductor of the GTHD, Jens zu Lauter Bach, the twenty ladies perform at their best.

Since the choir was founded, Gérard Le Wandowski, a member of the European aristocracy, has supported the ladies with all his skills as musical accompanist. At his side, rhythmically, rhythmically and with the appropriate activist experience that a GTHD musician needs: Rike Gratt on bass.
