The presentations and discussions provided valuable insights for everyday musical practice and highlighted the importance of interdisciplinary exchange between research and practice.
Kapfenburg Castle in “Expedition in die Heimta”
SWR filmed an episode of “Expedition in die Heimat” with Annette Krause as the presenter. The result will be broadcast on SWR on 22 May.
The castles and palaces of the Swabian Alb are brimming with fascinating stories. In the episode “Castles and Palaces of the Alb”, SWR presenter Annette Krause visits some of these impressive, historic buildings, where she meets lords of the manor, artists and other people who are preserving and revitalising these historic sites.
One of the stops is the former Teutonic Order castle of Kapfenburg. During the film crew’s visit, the D2 course of the Brass Band Association Ostalbkreis is taking place there. In glorious sunshine, the rehearsal and final concert are spontaneously moved to the picturesque castle courtyard.
Annette Krause also joins a children’s guided tour of the castle with Sonja Heinen and speaks with Academy Director Moritz von Woellwarth about the International Music School Academy.
