Mit Pauken und Trompeten – Konzert, Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik 2024

The sounds of trumpets once gilded the existence of courtly society and the people. The Tyrolean archdukes also favoured the sonorous trumpet consorts, which comprised up to 30 musicians. They played at prestigious occasions, celebrations and public festivals. In some regions, including Austria and southern Germany, the tradition of trumpet processions lasted until the end of the 19th century

18. Century, in some places even into the 19th century. In Tyrol, there are still trumpet consorts today that play the natural trumpets of the time. They are an integral part of the programme at the Innsbruck Festival of Early Music and it is impossible to imagine the festival without them. Their festive sounds ring out from the Golden Roof through the historic old town of the Alpine metropolis.
