The
German-American Brass Band of Southern California
is the main
performing activity of the Alemannia Music Foundation. It is an
ensemble of over 20 musicians from varied ethnic and musical
backgrounds. The musicians come from all over the Southern California
area with various musical experiences, from high school students to
professional musicians.
The band maintains an extensive library of authentic German, Austrian,
Swiss, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Hungarian, Roumanian, and Danube-Swabian music, as well as music from other countries and areas.
It supports music education and appreciation by giving the
participating musicians the opportunity to study this music and
perform the music as an ensemble. The band supports public education
by performing for the public at events sponsored by civic and cultural
organizations.
The band was
founded in 1962 by Mr. Hans Schmelzer who continues to be active with
the band today and serves as Kapellmeister Emeritus. The band
has long been a favorite at numerous ethnic festivals, including the
annual German Day sponsored by the German-American League and the
annual Oktoberfest sponsored by the Montrose-Verdugo Chamber of
Commerce.
