From page to stage 📖➡️🥁 Composer Johannes X. Schachtner had been carrying Günter Grass’s poem Kinderlied in his mind for years, waiting for the right moment to turn its deceptively simple “children’s-song” vibes into something rhythmically explosive for solo percussion.

🎵 The ARD Competition finally gave him that chance with his piece "Siebenundzwanzig" ("Twenty-Seven") – a miniature universe of glockenspiel, snare, little tin drum and more. After hearing four very different performances, Schachtner is thrilled by how each young percussionist makes the piece entirely their own: highly precise, full of energy, and brimming with personality.

▶️ You can experience "Siebenundzwanzig" again in the livestream of todays prize winners` concert – check out the YouTube channel. 🥁
