Dai Kimoto’s Swing Kids and the Thurgau Youth Orchestra united in a concert series: That sounds like a lot of fun for everyone who was there in the packed Weinfelden Catholic Church. On stage. And in front of it.
Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, the Andrews Sisters… anyone with a faint nostalgia for old Hollywood or Broadway was immediately captivated on this spring Sunday. And all this in the vibrant acoustics of the Catholic church, which didn’t sound anything like a club. Conductor Gabriel Estarellas Pascual, in a chic blue blazer in front of his orchestra in colorful outfits, conducted with ease through the elegant harmonies of Vernon Duke’s “April in Paris” – and throughout the entire concert.
