Katherine Brucker at the picnic

June 21, 2009. As a music lover and Leipzig choir member, Leipzig Consul General Katherine Brucker was a welcome prominent "table host" at the Leipzig Community Foundation's citizen picnic. The event was organized by Angelika Kell, a local community organizer, whose organization was just recently honored in Berlin for its civic engagement by Wolfgang Tiefensee, Minister for Transportation and Eastern Reconstruction. The Foundation's prized project "Music makes (you) Smart", helps underprivileged families and schools acquire instruments and provide music lessons. Consul General Katherine Brucker was one of many well-known city residents featured by the Leipziger Volkzeitung on June 22 under the headline "Musicians have a Heart for Kids".
