"A journey around the world" at the CHIO Aachen 2008
Horse & Symphony staged for the first time again after three years - With the Symphony Orchestra Aachen

World Vaulting Champion Kai Vorberg, the manifold Olympic Dressage Champion Monica Theodorescu and the Symphony Orchestra Aachen under the lead of Musical Director Marcus R. Bosch will take the audience along on "A journey around the world". In the course of the World Equestrian Festival, CHIO Aachen, the concert "Horse & Symphony" will again be staged in the Deutsche Bank Stadium for the first time since 2005, on Saturday, June 28th at 8.30 p.m.

"It will be an event in a class of its own - just like it is appropriate for the CHIO Aachen", says Frank Kemperman, General Manager of the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. (ALRV). For the Symphony Orchestra Aachen, it is by now almost a matter of course to set the tempo in the stadium. "Each time, the CHIO's special atmosphere makes "Horse & Symphony" a highlight of our season", says Bosch. In 2008, the concert will be staged for the fourth time since 2003. The event had not taken place in 2006 due to the World Equestrian Games and in 2007 due to orchestra holidays.

Bosch promised legendary melodies that will be accompanying the presentations of Vorberg and Theodorescu, young riders from Aachen, the Tanzsportzentrum Aachen and the Tanzwerkstatt Carla Brettschneider. Choreograph of the whole show will again be Renate Dahmen. Melodies from Tschaikowsky's "Swan Lake", waltzes by Strauß, Arabic folk music, pieces of musicals and movies - the music will be attuned to specific countries, a true musical journey around the world. For the Symphony Orchestra Aachen, the concert will be the final concert of the season. "And on this occasion, we will be able to show the whole range of our skills", says Bosch.
