These events are similar in terms of concept, place, musicians or the program.
The string players always sit at the front of the podium at an orchestral concert, while the percussionists and brass players always sit behind them, in the second row, so to speak. As principal percussionist at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Thomas Hoffmann wanted to change this fixed situation and founded the Brass Band Berlin. The idea was very well received by colleagues. The Brass Band Berlin is a perfect blend of brilliant musical sophistication and that little bit of extra entertainment.
Talented brass and wind players from Junior Guildhall perform a lively concert under the baton of Spencer Down.
The talented young musicians of Junior Guildhall round off their academic year with a programme including Sibelius’ Symphony No 2 conducted by Dominic Wheeler.
German Brass has been in existence for 50 years, which is almost an eternity for a music ensemble, as it means carefully integrating new and younger members into the ensemble time and again without losing a single ounce of musical quality. The fact that German Brass has won numerous national and international record awards is almost a side note. German Brass owes its success to its sound. As a pioneer among brass ensembles, German Brass has not only made music history since its foundation in 1974 but has also continued its success story. The ten brass players are characterised in particular by the fact that they uncompromisingly sound of their ensemble, finding and inventing it anew in every concert and every recording.
It has been 30 years since a couple of cheeky music students with philharmonic ambitions gave in to the temptations of pub music at the Mnozil inn in Vienna and embarked on an unplanned journey into the entertainment business. They left the noble world of classical music behind and travelled the globe on behalf of applied brass music. Success came quickly and it happened as it had to: the decades flew by and students eventually became professors themselves. Teachers who, to the best of their knowledge and belief, endeavoured to pass on what they had learned to their inquisitive students in word and sound. But the fire of blown music never goes out! It still burns brightly in their hearts in 2025, just like it did back then in the small Viennese pub. And that’s why Mnozil Brass is once again heading for new shores and presenting the ultimate brass birthday in the form of an anniversary show.
Blechbläser-Gipfel bei der Deutschen Bahn. Edle Metalle finden zusammen, wenn Posaune, Trompete & Co. im Silberturm der Deutschen Bahn ein Stelldichein geben. Und wenn ein klangprächtiges Quintett des hr-Sinfonieorchesters Frankfurt dabei in luftiger Höhe zu erleben ist, sind nicht nur musikalische Höhepunkte garantiert. Mit einer Perspektive von mehr als 150 Meter Abstand zum Alltag eröffnen sich allen Besucher*innen dieses Kammerflimmerns im obersten Stock des Hochhauses auch ganz praktisch neue Dimensionen. Konzertdauer: ca. 90 Minuten – inklusive Pause
