Cultural-musical work: Memberships

Within the scope of my musical interests and my cultural activities on the subject "Egerland/Bohemian brass music" I have been involved in different associations, organizations and working groups.
Beside my own "Egerländer Blasmusik- und Informationsarchiv" (Egerland Brass Music and Information Archive; see accompanying link) I inform you below with pleasure the three most essential memberships.

At its federal general meeting, the "Bund der Egerländer Gmoin e.V." (BdEG) set an example for his special recognition and appreciation of the Egerland brass music, the Egerland brass bands and musicians in Germany. With effect from July 2021 I was appointed as the "Federal Commissioner for the Egerland/bohemian Brass Music in the BdEG". "It is important to us to promote and support Egerland folk and brass music as a cultural part of our long-standing traditions," said BdEG Federal Chairman Volker Jobst in this context.

The association was founded in 1994 to support the Egerland Museum in Marktredwitz in his continuance and activities. For this purpose Egerländer cultural asset is bought and made available to the museum, projects and exhibits are supported as well as

the scientific work of the museum is supported by financial measures.

Circle of Friends of Danube-Swabian Brass Music e.V. (Freundeskreis Donauschwäbische Blasmusik)

Accordance with its statues the purpose of the association is to preserve the Danube-Swabians brass music as an independent cultural asset as well as to beware the traditional folk music of the Danube-Swabians, to do accessibly to the following generations and to bring this music again more in the general public.
Besides, the music research, the publication of traditional music (brass music, folk music, folk songs, religious songs) on recording sound media as well as the realization of public concerts counts to the tasks of the association.
The association disposes in the cultural centre and documentation center of the Banater Swabians in Ulm/Donau of an extensive notes and sound media archive with music from the former settlement areas of the Danube-Swabians (today ex-Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania).
