Christiane Niemann having founded the Voices of Joy gospel choir has directed and performed as a vocalist in over 100 performances a year, spanning a 3 year period all under the management and organisation of Clapping Hands. With the help of established choreographers, singers, directors and various performers a solid team has emerged, able to provide show concepts and acts for exhibitions, hotels and gala events. Between the years 2012-2014, one of Clapping Hands‘ main focus was on the artist management, concert and tour booking and show creation for Marla Glen. All of this with versitility and creavity, care and with the mind set and attitude that there is a solution for every problem and situation. We know what is important for the artists and never losing sight of the interests of the customer. Our intensive cooperation and good communication have been conducted ever to a successful outcome. That is why we pay special attention to the small details and a team of people who represent the same attitude and with whom we are closely associated. So Annette Brüggemann has become part of our team - with her long and varied experience in the field of management, media and cultural sector and the public relations and marketing. With her creative expertise, she advises people with talk show appearances, cared for artistic projects and accompanying book projects from beginning to end.
