FOR THE FIRST TIME IN LITHUANIA – A CONCERT BY THE BRASS ENSEMBLE “GERMAN BRASS” (GERMANY)
On Saturday, July 27, 2024, at 8 PM, the Chaim Frenkel Villa Park (Vilniaus St. 74, Šiauliai) will host a concert of the XXI International Chaim Frenkel Villa Summer Festival, featuring the German brass ensemble “German Brass” performing in Lithuania for the first time.
“German Brass” is a world-renowned brass ensemble known for its virtuoso performances and innovative
interpretations. Founded in 1974, the ensemble initially started as a quintet but later expanded to ten
members, incorporating various brass instruments such as trumpets, trombones, French horns, tuba, and
occasionally percussion. The ensemble has managed to create "diversity in unity," producing a unique and
unmistakable collective sound with ten individualists and renowned soloists from prestigious first-class
German orchestras. As an ensemble, they play clear chamber music while also achieving the grandeur and
dynamics that only brass instrumentalists can create.
The repertoire of “German Brass” encompasses all stylistic directions and genres from Scheidt to
Shostakovich, from Dixieland to Bossa Nova. In their concerts, the ensemble skillfully and joyfully bridges
the divide between two musical styles: the programs feature arrangements of classical works as well as
adaptations and compositions of timeless pieces, often arranged and created specifically for “German
Brass” as a tribute to the ensemble's distinctive sound and technical brilliance.
Members of the ensemble include: Matthias Höfs (trumpet), Uwe Köller (trumpet), Andre Schoch
(trumpet), Manuel Mischel (trumpet), Johannes Dengler (French horn), Klaus Wallendorf (French horn),
Fritz Winter (trombone and euphonium), Emil Haderer (trombone), Uwe Füssel (bass trombone), Stefan
Ambrosius (tuba), Herbert Wachter (percussion).
The artistic director of the festival is Robertas Šervenikas, laureate of the Lithuanian National Prize and
conductor.
The concert is partially supported by the Goethe Institute in Lithuania.
