Torgau in music fever: singer academy and new Stadtwerke leadership!

In Torgau a lot happens and the anticipation is great! In the coming July, the city will again become the scene for international singing talents when the International Saxon Singer Academy opens its gates. From July 12th to 20th, students from all over the world are invited to learn and make music in the picturesque backdrop of Hartenfel Castle. Professor Elvira Dreßen, the chairwoman of the academy, has already shared exciting information about the preparations and the planned public concerts. The academy is aimed primarily at vocal students of German universities and international talents who are interested in studying in Germany. In addition to the artistic content, dealing with German culture and language also plays a central role, which makes the offer particularly attractive.

Especially for young professional musicians who are at the beginning of their career, the academy offers valuable insights into the German song, the oratorio as well as the German opera and contemporary vocal music. Torgau has an important story in music that goes back to Martin Luther and Johann Walter, as well as the premiere of Heinrich Schütz '"Daphne" in 1627, which is considered the first German opera. A real highlight for those interested in culture!

future perspectives in Torgau

Another exciting aspect is the upcoming change in the leadership of the Torgau municipal utility. Marcus Ende, who takes over the helm on July 1, is a native of Torgau and brings fresh ideas from the automotive- to the energy industry. He succeeds Renate Mühlner and is intended to give new impulses that steer the municipal utilities in an innovative direction.

Not only in the area of ​​energy there are developments. The young people are also given a way in Torgau and Oschatz to earn a little pocket money during the holiday work. From service to housekeeping to the maintenance of green areas, various possible uses are available - ideal terrain to gain initial professional experience and to orientate yourself in working life.

And as if that weren't enough, an impressive tree also causes a sensation in Torgau: In the castle park from Oelzschau, a fundraising campaign for maintaining a record plane starts, which is considered a "National Baum". Such actions show how important it is to preserve nature and culture in the region and to offer it a worthy environment.

Another positive sign of health care in the region: According to the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians, the symptoms of patients who do not find a family doctor have decreased in and around Torgau. This gives hope that medical care will go well and that the residents receive the required support.

As you can see, Torgau is a place full of life, culture and development. The upcoming events and initiatives promise to make the city even more attractive and to strengthen the sense of community.
