The gala concert with the Swiss Army Symphony Wind Orchestra under the direction of Gaudens Bieri will include many musical delicacies.
The Swiss Army Symphonic Wind Orchestra is one of the most sought-after wind orchestras in the world. Top musicians from all parts of Switzerland perform their military service in this elite formation.
Due to the militia system of the Swiss Armed Forces, the musicians prepare a demanding programme in short rehearsal sessions. The orchestra’s masterful sound and interpretation culture is internationally recognised.
Approx. 60 musicians dedicate their skills to classical and contemporary wind orchestra compositions and transcriptions of the highest calibre. In addition to gala concerts in Switzerland and abroad, the orchestra mainly performs at international congresses and seminars, where it is also conducted by renowned guest conductors. In addition, chamber music formations can be separated from the orchestra and perform independently.
The gala concert at the World Youth Music Festival will take place in the newly renovated main hall of the Tonhalle.
