Top Athletes Take a Musical Break


Young Athletes at the Olympic Training Center and Sport School Glarus got special Christmas instruction to close out 2011. Since Hedreich’s talent on the slopes in no way can match her vocal skills, the kids got a break from training and learned a couple of fun songs and even a dance! Most impressive were the teachers who showed not only can they coach, teach and administrate, but sing and dance as well! Next up, Die Show nach Zehn. But first, the team here at hedreich.com wishes you a peaceful end to 2011 and a happy and fulfilling New Year!

Countowndown to 2012


With ESC a thing of the past and only 3 appearances till the holidays, Hedreich is already working on next year’s line-up. An exciting year with live concerts and master classes, it looks like the singing commuter will be able to rack up quite a few frequent flyer miles! And if you are in the mood for song and comedy, Hedreich will be making her “Mad”-esque debut on Nachtfieber in Olten just before ringing in the new year. It’ll be a great evening of comedy and song. Don’t miss it!

Gospel and the Advent


As previously stated, after this year Hedreich will be based in Texas and will commute to Switzerland for seminars, concerts and studio engagements. That news lent a sentimental note to the recent Glarner Inspirational Singers annual concerts. As they gave a nod to the last 13 years of choir history by including solos from former pianist Christian Menzi and even inviting singers from yester-year up to join the musical fun, the full house crowds clapped and sang along wherever they could. Since Hedreich likes to do interactive concerts, they sang lots and so the Advent season was ushered in with joy!

Choir Director Extraordinaire!


If you think Hedreich is a bundle of energy on the stage, you should see her working her magic with a group of singers. The last three weekends have found Hedreich doing just that and each weekend has borne musical fruit and brought accolades. This coming weekend her own choir, the Inspirational Singers, will be showing off their shine at concerts in Glarus and Glarus Süd. For more information, like the Inspirational Singers at facebook or check out their homepage.

The Ultimate Commute

Talk about hitting the ground running! After the overseas flight on Thursday, Hedreich is already on the job. This weekend finds her doing a “Repertoire Intensive” seminar with Sweet ‘n’ Sour for their Swing ‘n’ Soul concert. The concert, coming up on the 12th and 13th of this month will also feature choreography by Hedreich. She and the “Sweeties”, under the direction of Ulrich Wolf, have worked together for many years and the concert will be one of the better ones in the region this season. Don’t miss it!

Coming Closer…

Bill Clinton wasn’t in his home state of Arkansas this past weekend but Hedreich was. She joined Barbara Tucker and a Chosen Few to celebrate Gospel Music Heritage month at Goddard UMC. Goddard, in turn, was commemorating 20 years of lauding the Negro Spiritual. Not only was it an evening of excellent music, it was a glorious example of Martin Luther King’s dream.

This week will see Hedreich in the Studio finishing up some compositions before shipping off to Switzerland for the concert season. Drop back by for scheduling updates soon. We’ll keep a light on for ya!

Here, There and Everywhere


If the paparazzi photographed inside cover music industry appearances, Hedreich– primarily known as a singer and a teacher– would grace the cover of quite a few rags this year. Of course you know her lyric and cover writing from her own Time Now but this year she also helped out on Nubya’s newly released Today and Miracle Flair’s Inner Peace of Mind. Even Tanja Dankner’s Somewhere got a friendly once-over. But just in case you think she’s left the stage and studios for a new career, no worries. Hedreich can be heard on the Gölä and the Bellamy Brothers’ 2010 release that just went double platinum! Give it a listen. And check back soon for Hedreich’s upcoming concert dates. We’ll leave a light on for ya!

Back to School

August is always the time of year when summer slowly fades into fall and children all over the world deck the halls and classrooms once more. Not only will Hedreich be one of the classroom desk “deckers” this year, she will also be volunteering, teaching in her own pilot after-school music program. “Let’s Sing!” is a sing-along music class designed for people of all ages to get together and, well, sing. Nothing fancy, just 50 minutes of connecting with people and doing what she loves!

And while we’re looking forward, let’s also look back. Remember “Paint Your Blues”, Hedreich’s interdisciplinary project at Leutschen Middle School with art teacher Barbara Ramer? Well it was amazing and we finally got you a visual.

Enjoy and drop back by soon.

Hands-on Thankfulness


As you have read here on hedreich.com, our favorite performer will be focusing on one of her favorite things this year–education. Hedreich is volunteering with young people in underserved communities doing what she does best–singing and encouraging people. It’s a side that may not be seen from the stage but one her students know well. Being “hands-on-thankful” is what she calls it. Hedreich and the children will be working together over the months to come, building a musical program that will allow young voices to be heard. Stop back by for progress reports. We’ll keep a light on for ya!
