Focus on Lebenshilfe Fürth
Bringing disabled youths back in with musical creation and helping new talents to blossom.
Michel Gosselin, General Manager Mercure Fürth.
Lebenshilfe is a German federation encompassing 540 local associations countrywide. It works with people with disabilities, catering to their needs and protecting their rights.
Lebenshilfe Fürth, this association’s arm in Fürth, has been working to help people with handicaps to blend into society since 1961.
Fürth Music school is a nonprofit association, founded in 1986. In 2011, they have over 1,600 pupils and 58 teachers, which are all full time employees from the school. Over 30 ensembles are playing – with musicians from every age category (from parents & kids lessons to senior ensembles) – all lessons are available to handicapped and non handicapped pupils. Robert Wagner, in charge of the “Berufung Musiker” project is also Founder and director of the Music School.
In October 2009, it teamed up with the music school in that city to create Vollgas, an eight-musician band (all of whom have handicaps). The goal is to show these youths in difficulty that they belong in society.
The several concerts they performed in Bavaria in 2009-2010 caused something of a sensation in that region.
The association, the head of the music school and the local mayor decided to run the project again from 2011 to 2013, featuring a concert by Quadro Nuevo (internationally acclaimed professional tango musicians) in the Mercure hotel in Fürth in April 2011.
The Accor Foundation is financing musical courses for these eight youths and helping to organise their second tour. The goal is to help these disabled youths to find a way into society – and to promote disabled-youth integration across Germany.
