Inspire young talents: record number at the brass music junior seminar!
On April 17, 2025, the eagerly awaited “Junior Seminar” of the Lower Austrian Brass Music Association took place in the ballroom of the Warth Agricultural College. This year, 110 talented young musicians from the Neunkirchen and Wiener Neustadt districts took part in the three-day event, which ended with an impressive final concert. The event was organized by Johannes Kornfeld, the district youth officer.
The seminar, which had the motto “We are the future,” included numerous workshops in which the participants deepened their skills in making music in orchestras and ensembles, but also in music notation and rhythm work. In addition, choir lessons were held, the basics of marching in formation were taught and the importance of concert clothing was discussed. These topics are particularly important in preparing the next generation of brass musicians for the challenges and joys of musical life, such as meinkreis.at reported.
A complete success
Everyone involved was very happy about the new record number of participants. The ballroom in the new school building was full for the final concert, and the young musicians were rewarded with warm applause from their parents and the audience. Guests of honor from the Lower Austrian Brass Band Association, including district chairman Ernst Osterbauer and district finance officer Margit Sternberger, were also present and testified to the importance of the event for the region.
Participation in such important seminars is an important step for young people who want to establish themselves in the brass music scene. Such events help to promote young talent, which is particularly supported by the international youth work programs. Programs that meet certain educational and youth policy requirements can be funded. This also includes youth encounters that can take place at home and abroad bdb-online.de describes.
The Junior Seminar showed once again that the future of brass music lies in the hands of these committed, young musicians. The mix of practical training and performance experience will help them further develop their passion for music and grow in the community.
