Our new site will be online soon.

Welcome to our homepage

I'm delighted that you are interested in the work of our organisation.

Much has happened during the fifteen years since the founding of the organisation. Some things have been very challenging. But the experience of overcoming the many project hurdles by means of teamwork provides powerful motivation and encouragement to move forward. The joy that both adults and children receive from our performances is so wonderful that we are constantly inspired to develop our ideas even further and to participate voluntarily.

Sincere wishes for a wonderful time.

Una Gonschorr

"From the medical viewpoint this is completely understandable: if you're happy you get well quicker."

Berliner Woche dated Nov. 11th 2009

The performance in the Westend Clinic ended like all performances of Aponi: the children just couldn't get enough of the "singing butterflies". At the end even the 9 year old Mehmet was beaming although he had been quite reserved at the beginning...

Insel-Echo dated Sept. 2009

...it wasn't just the youngsters that were under the spell of the magical images and sounds and led into another world for a while. Relatives and hospital workers confirmed the beneficial effects of the musical medication.

Berliner Morgenpost dated Aug. 1st 2006
