Jugendkapelle Mooskirchen
The Jugendkapelle Mooskirchen is well-known for its remarkable traditional costume (Mooskirchner Altsteirer Tracht) and its musical variety, far outside the borders of Mooskirchen.
Founded in the year 1971 our concert journeys have taken us across Austria and into many other countries such as Germany, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Italy.
Two special events in our history was being invited to Cyprus by UN in 1997 and Bosnia and Herzegovina by EUFOR troops in 2010.
In Cyprus, apart from convert appearances at the flower celebration in Larnaca and at the Austrian UN bases, we framed the command delivery on the new troops contingent in Larnaca.
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, we were invited to perform concerts at the EUFOR base and framed the command delivery of the Austrian troop contingent in Sarajevo.
Regularly we also welcome partner bands from other regions and countries.
We were also honored to play at TV shows and radio broadcasts, and have also produced our own sound recordings.
In 2006 we were in Schladming and gave an open-air concert at Mid Europe, the biggest wind orchestra festival in Europe.
In addition to our two fixed events in the year, the gala concert and the desire concert, it is tradition to participate regularly in concert and marching valuations.
