Brass band music is an essential part of Austrian culture. There is hardly a reception, a milestone anniversary or a major celebration in the villages and towns that is not accompanied by a brass band. And the associations seem to organise concerts and music festivals on the side. Around 6,000 musicians in Vorarlberg play in 129 formations, meet regularly for rehearsals, prepare for competitions and perform on weekends at all kinds of events. The exhibition – in collaboration with the Vorarlberger Blasmusikverband, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2024 – tells the story of people who have shaped brass music in the state and are still working to keep this tradition alive today.
