24.11.2023 SprachROHR Nr. 40 – Interview with Daniel Schmid

The X-Mas issue of our district Rohr is out with a very crissy interview I held with Daniel Schmid, musical director of the Aargauer Kantorei (Cantorium of the Swiss Canton Aargau). He regularly performs in Germany and Czech Republic. On page 41 you can read the interview or directly via the QR-Code below:

20.10.23 In Memoriam of Gerardo Ceres

It’s an indescribably feeling to have heard about the passing of Gerardo. Years ago he helped me in the Italian adaption of „Die Papierfabrik“ (The Paper Factory). The Italian magazine La Sorgente – for which I regularly write some reviews – asked me to write about the course of things… how we met and how we worked together over a distance of 1000 miles…I pay respect to his dear ones by expressing my condolences.

4.8.23 Buch-Premiere „Aarauer Kurzgeschichten“

It took several months to celebrate the launch of the anthology „Aarauer Kurzgeschichten“ (Shortstories of Aarau) at the Canton library in Aarau managed by Pino Dietiker and Alexander Estis, both members of the Literarische Aarau. Some of the authors had the pleasure to read out of the book and a special performance was Andrey Fedorchenko’s one in russian language.

The event was well visited and some of the authors were there too. The anthology is in german language and will not be traduced.

4.3.2023 SprachROHR Nr. 38 – Interview with Marcello Wernli

So, finally I contributed my first interview for the magazine of our district – which appears three times a year. My interview partner is Marcello, a very close friend of mine for almost thirty years. Twelve years ago he decided to leave Switzerland and to live on the Island of Mallorca. The interview can be read online at page 27 in German language www.stadtteilverein-rohr.ch

National Future Day 10.11.2022

Last November in Switzerland was held the National Future Day. This day offers to the young pupils to accompany their parents or relatives to their workplace for meeting the job they practice.

The girls and boys get offered as well the opportunity to meet a job underpresented in their gender. The target is that everyone can choose the profession desired, meet the perspectives and planning the working future. This national project exists more than twenty years and is supported by small and big Swiss companies.

This time I’ve been accompanied and flanked by my eleven-year-old niece Seraina, pupil of fifth grade, she likes a lot maths and sports, in that she’s excelling in karate wearing the blue belt. Once she will reach the legal age, she wants to subscribe to the aspirant school of police.
