From fairground sounds to Mozart, from big band to baroque music: from July 11, 2025, the "Spektrum" festival of the wind instruments and percussion section of the College of Music Freiburg will take place in three concerts. The first concert, entitled "Winds of Change", will feature music exclusively by female composers, such as the African-American Florence Price and the French composer Louise Farrenc. The second concert, "Forward, March!", features echoes of marching music and big bands, with Bernd Alois Zimmermann's "Rheinische Kirmestänze für 13 Bläser" and Friedrich Gulda's "Konzert für Violoncello und Blasorchester". The final concert is "Serenade" in the St. Lioba Monastery in Freiburg-Günterstal with baroque and classical pieces by Jan Dismas Zelenka and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - perfect for a mild summer evening. Students and teachers from the College of Music Freiburg will be performing.

Marches and dances - two strong stereotypes of wind music from the last few centuries - are used in the second program of the "Spektrum Wind Festival" by the composers Bernd Alois Zimmermann, Friedrich Gulda and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with great virtuosity and a good pinch of humour in their compositions. The solo part in Friedrich Gulda's cello concerto will be played by Till Schuler, Master's student at the College of Music Freiburg and new solo cellist of the BR Symphony Orchestra.
