Brass Sound, Film Sound, and Baroque Radiance: The Brass Workshop Gelsenkirchen invites you to join in

On Saturday, September 19, 2026, the Municipal Music School in Gelsenkirchen will be the meeting point for all those who want to not only hear brass music but experience the sound up close. The Brass Workshop is designed as an open brass day and is aimed at all interested individuals who want to participate in a brass band and feel the communal music-making in its full live atmosphere. The program includes film music from Pirates of the Caribbean and the Sonata pian‘e forte by Giovanni Gabrieli.

A Morning Full of Ensemble Energy

From 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM, there will be no classic concert with distance, but rather a participative concert experience. The mix of rehearsal work, orchestration, and joint sound development brings the dynamics of a brass band directly to the center. This audience atmosphere is precisely what makes it appealing: those who participate will experience how individual voices combine into a rich, vibrant whole.

Cinematic Grandeur Meets Renaissance Elegance

The appeal of the program lies in the contrast. The music from Pirates of the Caribbean provides adventure, excitement, and grand melodic gestures, while Giovanni Gabrieli's Sonata pian‘e forte makes the historical breath of polyphony and precise sound architecture palpable. Thus, a bridge is created between modern film music and early music history, engaging both professionals and beginners alike.

Music School as a Lively Venue

The Municipal Music School Gelsenkirchen has been the central address for musical education in the city since 1978 and offers ensemble work from orchestra to big band to choir. The location at Rolandstraße 3 is part of the instructional building of the music school and thus a suitable place for this open format. The event fits perfectly with the idea of the music school: learning, creating together, and experiencing sound directly.
