70 Jahre Egerländer – Die Jubiläumstour

70 Years of Egerländer Musikanten – The Era Continues

On their grand anniversary tour, they not only bring decades of musical history with them – but also a new musical director. Alexander Wurz is leading the Egerländer tradition into the future with a fresh sound and his own unique style. And even though the “Original Egerländer Musikanten“ are constantly reinventing themselves, the orchestra stands like no other for lived musical continuity, precise craftsmanship, and wind music of the highest caliber.

Since its founding by Ernst Mosch in 1956, the “Original Egerländer Musikanten“ have made a name for themselves worldwide. Mosch shaped the orchestra's signature, emotional, yet swinging sound. Over the past 25 years, Ernst Hutter has led the orchestra into the 21st century with his own arrangements and a new generation of soloists. With “his Egerländers,“ his perseverance, and his vision, he paved the way for the enthusiasm for brass music that can be felt everywhere today among all generations. Now, with Alexander Wurz, the next step follows: The 39-year-old tenor horn player and conductor, himself a member of the orchestra for 15 years, was chosen by Ernst Hutter as his successor. With him, the ensemble remains true to its tradition—while simultaneously fully immersed in the here and now.

Wurz is doing what Mosch and Hutter did before him: developing the orchestra with a sense of tradition, setting new impulses—and carrying the music passionately into the future.
