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 stood for 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—only when it comes to the program does it remain uncompromising: 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. Presenting Bohemian brass music in its most refined form, the ensemble retains the original lineup that made the unmistakable sound of Ernst Mosch and his Original Egerländer Musicians world-famous. Experience a gala concert that unites emotion and musical authenticity.

The musical direction of the selection 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 a conductor. The characteristic singing is provided by Stephi Hubacek with Michael Selig or Rainer Stiassny. Together as a duo, they give the melodies that heartfelt, warm vocal quality that makes every concert a special experience.

The concert program features numerous well-known Bohemian melodies that have become Egerländer classics around the world—among them the "Astronaut March" and the waltz "Rustling Birches." In addition, the orchestra showcases its musical diversity with excursions into other styles. Evergreens like "Moonlight Serenade," "A Son of a Preacherman," and various solo pieces have already been on the program, continually delighting the audience.

Driven by idealism and a strong sense of community, the Egerländer Brass Band Neusiedl am See looks optimistically to the future. Year after year, the ensemble looks forward to welcoming new friends of Egerländer music—perhaps soon you as well.
