Gala Concert of Egerland Brass Music

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 – only when it comes to the program is there no compromise: it must be Bohemian.

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 most refined form. Experience a gala concert that unites emotion and musical authenticity.

The musical direction of the select orchestra is in the hands of the Upper Bavarian musician Elmar Walter, who, as a founding member, was already involved 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 lend the melodies that soulful, warm vocal color that makes every 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." Additionally, 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 anew.

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