Brass Akademie live in Munich

Experience Brass Akademie live on May 2nd

Brass Akademie is a German ensemble specializing in historically informed performance practice of brass music, primarily focusing on repertoire from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods. The group distinguishes itself through the use of original or meticulously reconstructed historical brass instruments, aiming for authentic sound and stylistic interpretation. Their performances often feature works by composers such as Bach, Handel, and Mozart, alongside lesser-known pieces unearthed through scholarly research.

The concert will take place at the Munich Residenz, the former royal palace of the Wittelsbach monarchs of Bavaria. Construction began in the 15th century and continued in various phases for over two centuries, resulting in a complex showcasing Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, and Neoclassical styles. Serving as both a residence and center of political power for centuries, the Residenz encompasses ten courtyards and numerous halls adorned with significant art collections.

The specific hall within the Residenz hosting the concert is not publicly available information at this time. The building has undergone extensive restoration following damage during World War II and remains a prominent cultural landmark in Munich, frequently used for concerts and other events due to its exceptional acoustics and historical significance.
