Some time ago I have discovered three new videos with the Zupforchester \u00d6tzingen<\/strong>, the mandolin orchestra from \u00d6tzingen <\/strong>in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. They have played pieces by Edvard Grieg, Fred Witt and Jose Antonio Zambrano during a festival of music in the city of Koblenz.<\/p>\n

This orchestra belongs to the best mandolin orchestras in Rhineland-Palatinate. I have not found a homepage of this orchestra, but I have found some information on the homepage of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Chorverb\u00e4nde e. V. who have organized the music festival:<\/p>\n

Zupforchester \u00d6tzingen –<\/strong> Conductor: Johannes K\u00f6lsch<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Translation: Last year the mandolin orchestra of \u00d6tzingen had its 50th anniversary. In 1960 some enthusiastic musicians founded the mandolin orchestra in the village located in the region named Westerwald. During the first years the orchestra played mainly marches and hiking songs, but today it plays many styles of music. Since 1988 when Klaus Neuroth<\/strong> took over the conductorship of the orchestra the repertoir has increasingly been influenced by the modern style of mandolin music (Zupfmusik). As the best mandolin orchestra of Rhineland-Palatinate the orchestra took place in the German competition for orchestras in 2000, 2004 and 2008.<\/em><\/p>\n

Well educated young players help to keep the orchestra in continuous good condition. In a special orchestra named “Die Wilden Zupfer Kids” (the wild plucking kids) the children gain their first experiences to be prepared to join the youth orchestra and main orchestra later. In September 2005 the orchestra has produced its first CD “Intoniert”.<\/em><\/p>\n

Original text in German: Im letzten Jahr feierte das Zupforchester \u00d6tzingen sein 50-j\u00e4hriges Jubil\u00e4um. 1960 gr\u00fcndeten mehrere Musikbegeisterte des gleichnamigen Westerwalddorfes den Mandolinenverein \u00d6tzingen. W\u00e4hrend das Repertoire der Anfangsjahre haupts\u00e4chlich Wanderlieder und M\u00e4rsche beinhaltete, umfasst es heute alle Stilrichtungen. Seit Klaus Neuroth im Jahre 1988 den Dirigentenstab \u00fcbernahm, wurde die Musik konzertanter und in zunehmendem Ma\u00dfe von der modernen Zupfmusik beeinflusst. Als bestes Zupforchester aus Rheinland-Pfalz nahm das Ensemble in den Jahren 2000, 2004 und 2008 dreimal in Folge am Deutschen Orchesterwettbewerb teil.<\/p>\n

Gut ausgebildete Nachwuchsspieler sorgen f\u00fcr den Fortbestand des Orchesters. Bei den \u201eWilden Zupfer Kids\u201c sammeln Kinder erste Orchestererfahrungen, um sp\u00e4ter im Jugendorchester und im Hauptorchester mitzuwirken. Im September 2005 brachte das Zupforchester seine erste CD \u201eIntoniert\u201c heraus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
