On December 13 and 16, 2019, the BoJO, under the direction of Sepp Herzog, presented a great mixture of "classical" jazz, winter songs like "Let it Snow" and jazz versions of various Christmas songs "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" and "White Christmas" in a well-known professional manner.
In his welcoming address, Primavera's CEO Christoph Kübel thanked the Bosch Jazz Orchestra and its director Sepp Herzog for their many years of successful support of Primavera's work. The history of the Bosch Jazz Orchestra is inextricably linked with the passion and personal commitment of Sepp Herzog, and so Christoph Kübel took the opportunity to express special thanks to him for his services to culture at Bosch on the occasion of the BoJO Christmas concerts.
Instrumental solo performances by Sepp Herzog and the alto saxophonists Rita Samuseva and Alexander Hübel, among others, as well as vocal performances by the singers Maria Rapp and Miriam Angstmann caused enthusiasm among the 400 visitors. Moreover, both evenings were very entertaining. The moderators from the JMP team also played their part in the American auction of beautiful and useful items. With their "sparkling" invitation to participate, they convinced the audience. The sum of the proceeds from the auctions made this clear.
Finally, the Bosch Jazz Orchestra also thanked its conductor Sepp Herzog for 16 years of excellent cooperation. Since the orchestra had postponed its own Christmas party to January 2020 in favor of the Primavera event, the BoJO used the Christmas concert to present Sepp Herzog with an early Christmas present.
With these two wonderful concerts a total of 9.100 EUR could be added to the Primavera account. A great result!
Primavera would like to thank all the active participants and organizers for the excellent preparation and realization of the events and the guests who were very generous.
