ZACHI, MIELE UND CHRISCHI, SOUND & PRODUCTION

are responsibable in concerts for sound and production. These are their nicknames in the scene. The three of them stand for all the people who make concerts, theatre evenings, films or exhibitions possible. They stand behind the scenery; their contributions are not visible. But they are just as important as the artists in the limelight. Cultural events cannot be realized without their help in setting them up. A concert without sound technicians cannot be heard, the actors on the stage cannot be seen without the lighting technician, nor can the artworks in an exhibition. Not to forget the teams in the ticket office, the cloakroom or the cleaning service. They are all a valuable part of art and culture.
