Hubertusmesse in the Speyer Cathedral: Jäger celebrate the patron saint!

This special fair emphasized the responsibility for the creation and the close connection between man to nature. Condition of the fair was a cathedral dean and Domkustos Dr. Christoph Maria Kohl, who took over the spiritual management.

The musical design of the Hubertusmesse was a highlight, with the Karlsruhe Parforcehornbläser Margrave von Baden under the direction of Norbert Sebold and the Saulheimer Jägerchor, led by Reinhard Baumgärtner. The atmosphere was characterized by solemn music, which underlined the importance of the event. An impressive "hunt over-halali" sounded at the end of the fair and united all the wind groups present, which already created their mood for the afternoon with their impressive great horn sound.
