The concert will be in one week on saturday the 21.03, in Siegburg at the Engelbert Humperdinck music-school.

So please spread the word and come to celebrate 25 years of Turrican! (I´m also looking at you, Chris Huelsbeck ;)

Schönen guten Morgen,

Ich hab schon in einigen Foren berichtet, dass es meinerseits ein Klavierkonzertabend geben wird, klassische Musik(Bach/Beethoven) sowie aber auch ein 30 minütiges Turrican Arrangement von mir für 2 Klaviere.

Das ganze findet am 21. März um 17.30 Uhr in Siegburg an der Engelbert Humperdinck Musikschule statt.

Vielleicht könnte man das als News auch noch weitergeben. wäre nämlich über jeden dankbar, der kommt.

Beste Grüße
Kordian
