Anniversary concert Swing on Snow: Federspiel

With their finely-tuned balancing act between brass music and acoustic experimentation,
Federspiel have earned themselves a permanent spot in the European
brass scene over the past 20 years. A light, easy charm and playful abandon are the
shining, defining features of Federspiel. The seven musicians create their own compositions
in a range spanning atmospheric minimalism through to power-packed
brilliance. Chorales in every flavour and form, yodelling pieces, heart-melting
trumpet ballads and, in all of their liberated unrestraint, a considerate mindfulness
that stops the strains of the clarinet from dissipating into the ether:
All of these qualities infuse this brass music with a delicate, virtuoso appeal.
It’s all in the name: Federleicht make feather-light brass music,
in a celebration of all that is melancholy.
