Musikverein Kittsee: award and celebration of the Burgenland brass music

On Sunday the Kittsee music club came to a very special occasion: he received the venerable honorary award "The Burgenland musician 2024". This award was presented by State Councilor Daniela Winkler, who was accompanied by Peter Reichstädter, the state chairman of the Burgenland brass music association. The ceremonial handover took place as part of the ORF premature pint in the Funkhaus Eisenstadt. Winkler emphasized: "We are once again focusing on the music and above all those people who make music and thus give many other great joy."

The price is not only praise for the Kittsee Music Association, but also for other local ensembles. The youth costume chapel Frauenkirchen, Seewinkel Apetlon, Dorfmusik Zillingtal, 1. Bgld. Trachtenkapelle Donnerskirchen, St. Georgen farmers chapel, fresh on Schattendorf and Deutschkreutz. Such honors are important because they recognize the valuable work of the music clubs and emphasize their commitment to the cultural landscape of the Burgenland.

musical passion and great success

The music clubs that were awarded are not only active cultural institutions, but also show that interest in making music is particularly pronounced in young people. With over 7,500 registrations in the Burgenland music schools last year, this is clear proof of the high demand for musical education.

The Musikverein Kittsee, under the direction of chairman Bernhard Wellan and the chapel masters Christoph Rak and Claudia Domschitz, has made a name for himself through his exemplary participation in scoring games and seminars. The association was nominated for the "Music in motion" in Bischofshofen's federal competition this year. In June, the chapel was able to convince with a spectacular show program at the marching ranking.

With an active number of members of around 60, which vary between the ages of 11 and 66, the cross -generational support and passion for brass music in the club is also evident. It should be emphasized that six founding members from 1973 to the present day are active. The Musikverein Kittsee took a total of 63 ratings- 31 concert and 32 marching competitions. Its members rehearse an average of 44 times a year and appear 37 times.

A highlight last year was the 50th anniversary of the music association. On this occasion, a cooperation with the Kittsee music school was launched. This shows the commitment of the association to offer younger musicians a platform and to pass on the joy of music. Bernhard Wellan, who has performed the function of the chairman since 2019, thus preserves tradition and at the same time promotes innovations within the club.

Regardless of these successes, the scene of the wind music associations in Burgenland is a lively and steadily growing community that not only appeals to local music lovers, but also a wider audience and underlines the cultural diversity of the region. These events are a perfect opportunity to experience the beautiful sound of the wind instruments and discover the talents of the young musicians.
