Gala Concert of the Egerländer Brass Band Neusiedl am See - 100 Years of Ernst Mosch
For over three decades, the Egerländer Brass Band Neusiedl am See has represented the finest Bohemian sounds, uniquely combining joy and virtuosity. The internationally composed ensemble brings together outstanding musicians from Austria, South Tyrol, and Germany. In terms of its lineup and concert activities, the orchestra, led by conductor Elmar Walter and manager Rainer Stiassny, knows no boundaries - except when it comes to the program: it must be Bohemian.
With the concert program "Bohemian Dream," the ensemble will perform in Eisenstadt for the tenth time on November 7, 2026, promising an evening full of musical warmth and virtuosic brass sounds.
In 1994, Rainer and Thomas Stiassny founded the EU Ensemble - a formation of passionate musicians who have come together in Neusiedl am See to carry the Egerländer brass music into the future with heart, precision, and lived tradition. In the original lineup that made the unmistakable sound of Ernst Mosch and his Original Egerländer Musicians world-famous, the ensemble today presents Bohemian brass music in its noblest form. Experience a gala concert that combines emotion and musical authenticity.
The musical direction of the select orchestra is in the hands of Upper Bavarian musician Elmar Walter, who, as a founding member, contributed in the early years and today sets new impulses as conductor. The characteristic singing is provided by Stephi Hubacek with Michael Selig or Rainer Stiassny. Together as a duo, they give the melodies that emotional, warm vocal color that makes each concert a special experience.
The concert program features numerous well-known Bohemian melodies that have become Egerländer classics around the world - including the "Astronaut March" and the waltz "Rustling Birches." In addition, the orchestra showcases its musical diversity with excursions into other styles. Evergreens such as "Moonlight Serenade," "A Son of a Preacherman," as well as various solo pieces have already been on the program and continue to delight the audience time and again.
Driven by idealism and a strong sense of community, the Egerländer Brass Band Neusiedl am See looks optimistically towards the future. Year after year, the ensemble looks forward to welcoming new friends of Egerländer music - perhaps soon you as well.
