AIDA Night of the Proms launches charity campaign
The AIDA Night of the Proms 2012 in Germany starts with the charity campaign ‘Three orchestras for the Orient’. We call on all music lovers and fans to donate old or unwanted instruments for a good cause. In cooperation with the organizer of the world’s largest charity rally, the Allgäu Orient Rallye, which starts under the auspices of the UN World Food Program, we aim to donate instruments to three children’s music school in Anatolia, Azerbaijan and in Georgia. Thus, children are given the opportunity to learn an instrument they would otherwise never get the chance to.
Many people have a musical instrument at home that is no longer used for many years. Now all music fans have the opportunity to givethis instrument a meaningful destination. If you want to donate an instrument please sent it securely packaged to the following address: Allgäu Orient Rallye, 87534 Oberstaufen, Germany.
Music knows no boundaries. It connects people across all political, religious and ethnic boundaries!

Our thoughts go to Aidan Lawrence …
We received the sad news that Aidan Lawrence died. From 1999 to 2006, Aidan was the bass player of the Electric Band and accompanied in that period with great enthusiasm dozens of international artists. We mourn his passing and wish his family and friends strength in these difficult times.

Heart-warming response from the audience and artists
The shows in Antwerp and Rotterdam have come to an end and the shows in Germany are halfway. Time to make a little overview and collect some feedback from the artists, press and audience.
In the three different countries, the artists were very warmly welcomed. Angie Stone and Seal were pretty excited about the show and shared it (thanks to Twitter) with the world!
Angie Stone: “Just got off of youtube watching the performance we did at night of the proms Seal Mick Hucknall of simply red and me pretty good”
Seal: “NOTP is one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve ever had in my life as musician. Thank you so much Jan and Dirk.”
Also the audience responded very positively. Some quotes:
“Wow, congratulations people! What an edition this year! I had goose bumps the entire show!” (Michael)
“We’ll be back next year!” (Marianne)
“It was just amazing!” (Natasja)

Seal to Appear with Symphony at the AIDA Night of the Proms

At the tour kick-off in Hamburg on November 25th, 2011, he will perform with, among others, Alison Moyet, the Italian soprano quartet Div4s and John Miles.

The stars will be accompanied by the Il Novecento Symphony Orchestra and the Fine Fleur Choir, directed by Robert Groslot.
In booking Seal, the tour organizers have managed to get one of the most successful solo artists of the 90s to headline. Seal’s trademark is his distinctive, emotionally rich voice, with which he effortlessly crosses over from soul to R&B and rock. As a Grammy and Brit Award winner he has sold over 15 million records over the course of his career. His breakout hits included “Crazy” and “Kiss from a Rose”. With 2003’s “Love’s Divine” he rose to the top of the charts and since then he has delivered a series of other catchy tunes.
In Alison Moyet, the tour organizers have booked an artist whose career began in the 80s as a singer in the synth-pop band Yazoo. She is well known for her expressive and distinctive bluesy voice as well as her musical breadth and depth. Alison Moyet can move easily between sophisticated pop, chansons, or blues. Milestones of her career, such as “All Cried Out”, “Invisible“ and “Is This Love?“, are still played regularly on radio stations all over the world.
With Div4s as a furtherheadliner, the organizers have an Italian soprano quartet that shines not only because of their voices. The show will be rounded out as always by the symphony orchestra Il Novecento and the FineFleur Choir directed by Robert Groslot. Also back on board is “Mr. Music” John Miles and the Electric Band, who have established themselves over the years as one of the mainstays of this fantastic event. Tickets for the 19 shows in 12 German cities are available at www.eventim.de.
Update 2011-06-26: Seal and DIV4S will also be playing in Antwerp. More information to follow.
