the Brass Band Festival 2016


In spite of the gloomy weather, this annual festival brightened up at least the hearts of all who listened this weekend.  There are concert stages setup on the town's main square as well as bands strolling all around though the streets.  The bands are from all over Europe so one can hear conversations (and reveling) on the streets in almost any language.

    1. And talk about surround sound! To get under the belfry you have to run the gauntlet.

  2. I wish I could hear them! What kind of music do they perform? Anything familiar to the American ear? Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos.

    1. The bands generally play the brass "classics". You would recognize many of them as a lot of the music is American. They range from true classical to jazz. I think you'd enjoy it all!
