Testimonials
bg
Stephan Bergdolt
Conductor, Student Symphony Orchestra, Albert Einstein Gymnasium, Böblingen
The meeting of the students, the supervision of the instrumental workshops, the organization of the supporting program and, last but not least, the joint concert were implemented professionally, with great commitment and confidence. More than 400 students, parents and teachers from our school were there as players or audience members and were extremely enthusiastic about this project. Both the artistic level and the encounter between Hong Kong students and Germans were met with great enthusiasm. Christine and her CommonTime team organized everything necessary to the complete satisfaction of everyone involved. She succeeded in building a bridge of international understanding between Germany and Hong Kong.

I deeply value the performance opportunities that allow my child to make music with students from diverse cultures in public settings… Such initiatives build friendships and communities across cultures and nations, promoting mutual understanding and respect. Supporting these programs is an investment in a harmonious and interconnected world.

Thank you very much for your great organization and the beautiful and dignified concert in the Liederhalle. It's unbelievable what you're doing! Unique! I hope that the exchange can continue to take place with the AEG in the future... Thank you also to your entire team of helpers…
