Robert Maillart, Richard Coray und das Salginatobel

A story about the bridge history of Köbi Gantenbein and the Alpenglühn chapel with picture sheet and music from the Balkans to Prättigau.

Everyone is cordially invited to the premiere of the suite and the subsequent aperitif.
Admission is free, collection to cover expenses.

Description:
Robert Maillart and Richard Coray are heroes of the 19th and early 20th centuries – engineers. A suite connects her life's thread with the bridge over the Salginatobel – informative, entertaining, stimulating.
Suite means that there is a story about the life and work of the two engineering heroes – tongue-in-cheek, partly fictitious and yet watertight in terms of bridge technology and history.

The orchestra Alpenglühn' packs the libretto into specially arranged music from Prättigau to the Balkans and from other areas where the two heroes had their construction sites. In addition to klezmer and Scottish, there is singing. A video and picture balcony runs above the performance. The suite takes a cheerful look at the history of the bridge and also reports on the experiences of Silvester Disch from Grüsch and Jakob Gantenbein I. from Jenaz with the bridge.

The Kapelle Alpenglühn' is a group of ten musicians from the lowlands and Graubünden. She is on the road in town and country with suites on a number of themes and as a Bandella delle Millelire with dance music: Rita Muster, violin, Lilly Reisch, hand organ, Bettina Truninger, clarinet, Alice Heri, timpani, Werner Fessler, saxophone, Heini Fümm, trombone, Roland Eberle, tuba, Hepl Caprez, drum, Peter Muster, flugelhorn, Köbi Gantenbein, clarinet.

Köbi Gantenbein has been making music with the Alpenglühn band for many years. He writes the libretti for the suites. He was editor-in-chief and publisher of the magazine Hochparterre for many years and currently works as president of the Graubünden Cultural Commission. He lives in Fläsch. He is connected to Prättigau through his families in Schiers and Jenaz and through his language. He went to school at the EMS in Schiers. He crossed the bridge over the Salginatobel on the way to Schuders for the first time as a boy. Since then, he has admired her elegance, technical audacity and beauty.
