A Concert of Firsts
Now that we have four new ambassadors, what will happen the next?
According to Ms. Heise, the winners
will record around eight to ten videos
within the spring 2015 semester of
their free choice, and will take around
two weeks for one video. When the
recordings and video editing are
done, they will be immediately distributed via social media, online
platforms, school websites and related intermediaries. Also, after spring
2015, #JUNIVERSE will have the
possibility of becoming a tradition
at Jacobs University if the program
gets the expected feedback. Lets
wait for the first videos to come out

The core organizing team had already started its preparations last semester so that marketing the concert to
the Freshies and acquiring sponsors
could take place during the break.
Additionally, for the first time in Piano to Fortes history was the concert
supported by two patrons: Angelika
Kirchschlager and Elisabeth Fuchs,
two outstanding professional musicians from Austria.
With the start of the fall semester,
the show team was busy organizing
auditions for musicians and moderators as well as coordinating their preparations with the SLS team to ensure as high a musical quality as in the
past years. Many freshies were not afraid to come forward so not only did
many musical contributions include
freshmen, but even one of the moderators had joined the university only
two months earlier!
Another first of this years Piano
to Forte was the performance of the
choir of our Syrian guests that performed the love song Lamma Bada Yatathanna. Never before had someone
external performed on stage at Piano to Forte - but really, these guests
have become an important part of our
community here on campus.
Meanwhile, our Logistics team had
managed to win an event company
as a sponsor providing a large party
tent in front of the cinema, in which
guests could enjoy a drink before the
concert, during intermission and after
the concert. One could even warm up
with the first Glhwein of the year!
The concert nights themselves were
once again a journey around the whole world with music being the common language. A multitude of diverse
ensembles and sophisticated solo pieces, many different instruments and
genres ranging from classical music to
jazz, classic, rock and pop were showcased, such that all music tastes were
met. The two charming moderators
Alexia Paradzai and Radu Homorozan
as well as the introduction videos fil-
lean back into the Cinemas comfortable seats, ready to be taken on the
musical journey. Next up was another star from last year, our talented
pianist Yingzhao Zhu, this time with
an impressively fast and clean Impromptu Fantasie by Frederic Chopin. The third act then introduced
the first freshie on stage - Aulon Kuqi
together with Alexander Gyorev as
#Balkans rocked the stage with their
Rock n Roll Madly. Back to the
world of classical music, Hang and
Klara decided to perform an Allegretto by Fuchs Op. 15 no. 3 with the
unusual combination of clarinet and
violin. The journey then led from Germany to its neighboring country Austria - singer Tobias Schrainks home

Lamma Bada Yatathanna dedicating their performance to the country of Syria. Finally, the evening was
perfected with a large ensemble that
had specifically gathered for Piano
to Forte consisting of the SLS Band
& Friends. With Manuel Schipper as
lead singer as well as an incredible
light show, their spectacular version
of November Rain by Guns N Roses
rounded the concert night off perfectly. A big thank you to our two main
organizers Johannes and Veronika
and everyone else who made Piano to
Forte possible and so successful this
year! Everyone is already excited for
what the Jacobs community can put
on stage next year for Piano to Forte
2015!
