Band contest "Europeana - The Metal Version"
11.03.2012 | 15:22Submit your metal version of "Europeana", the European "anthem of the hearts", and win a world wide record deal!
In May 2011 the European anthem of the hearts - "Europeana" - was performed by the Philharmonic Orchestra Hagen with standing ovations for the very first time. Since that time the anthem has become more and more popular all over Europe - especially in its orchestral version. The well-known German music publishing-company "Edition Peters" stated regarding "Europeana": "...the novelty of the hymn is, that the European countries can include their typical instruments in this composition (e.g. castanets/ Spain, accordion/ France, banjo/ Ireland etc.)".
The composer and guitar virtuoso CONNY CONRAD, who has had international success with his English/German rock band DARK OCEAN until its split in 2009, wants to create new versions of the anthem to reach a wider audience.
