Woodstock in Concert: "20 Jahre Federspiel"

20 years of Federspiel – two decades of music and friendship on major stages around the world. From Scandinavia to Egypt, from the Elbphilharmonie to the Vienna Konzerthaus – an innovative ensemble with its own musical language.
Brass music detached from expectations. The seven-piece brass band combines local folk music traditions and world music elements with their love of experimentation. Federspiel’s signature are their own compositions. Most of these refer to the musical and biographical roots of the seven musicians and explore the tension between tradition and modernity. The influences and inspirations range from Scandinavia to New York. The youthful and cheeky sound always remains anchored in the origins of Austrian music culture.
The desire for the new, the personal and the unmistakable, combined with their boundless joy of playing, which is so noticeable to the audience, makes “Federspiel” one of the most innovative and interesting ensembles on the European brass music scene
