Brass music fans from all over Austria are meeting at Tabor Castle in Neuhaus am Klausenbach (Jennersdorf district) this weekend: “Brass Spring” is the first brass music festival in Burgenland. A total of ten brass bands play.
The festival opened on Saturday followingnoon with the three music clubs Neuhaus am Klausenbach, Sankt Martin an der Raab and Minihof-Liebau on stage. This has never happened before at Tabor Castle. As the first brass music festival in Burgenland, Brass Spring inspires audiences from near and far. Some visitors even traveled 1,000 kilometers and more for the event.
Extensive program for brass music lovers
The winners of the state competition of “Prima La Musica”, Austria’s largest youth music competition, were also invited to the opening on Saturday. Later, in addition to regional greats, such as the group Moritz & Co, the Emperor’s Musicians from Upper Austria, who traveled all over Europe with their music, also played. A traditional brunch followed on Sunday.
The initiators were happy regarding the successful start at Tabor Castle. “If you can combine small brass parties with large music groups at an event – there is nothing like that anywhere in the world,” says Peter Reichstädter from the Burgenland Brass Band Association. Tabor Castle was taken over by the state of Burgenland two years ago. Now it is to become a lively center for culture of all kinds.
