Miliz- und Trachtenkapelle Oberharmersbach

Bio

The Miliz- und Trachtenkapelle Oberharmersbach, first mentioned in 1852, proudly represents more than 170 years of musical heritage from the heart of the Middle Black Forest. Based in the spa town of Oberharmersbach, the band counts around 80 active musicians. We regularly participate in local festivities, spa concerts, and major ceremonial events, often showcasing our traditional Oberharmersbacher Schwarzwälder costume during parades and cultural celebrations. While we honor our roots with traditional performances, our passion for symphonic wind band music continually drives us toward excellence in both performance and artistry. The collaboration with various professional conductors such as Dr. Mallory Thompson in 2023 illustrates our urge to constantly develop our skills. Our history is enriched by appearances at esteemed international competitions, including multiple participations in the World Music Contest in Kerkrade as well as events in Riva del Garda, Italy. We have proudly competed at Kerkrade in 1981, 1993, 2001, 2005, 2009, and 2017, and we maintain a strong, friendly partnership with the Symphonic Orchestra “Harmonie St. Aemiliaan” in Bleijerheide - Kerkrade. Looking ahead, we submit our application with gratitude, hoping to showcase our abilities once again, honor our longstanding WMC tradition, and preserve our cherished ties with our friends in Bleijerheide.
