The Deutschmeister Brass Band provides musical entertainment and German
atmosphere for a wide variety of audiences. Since its founding in
1963, the band has performed at various functions around St. Louis and
across the U.S. The band is a part of the German Cultural Society of
St. Louis, and is dedicated to preserving the musical tradition of the
German and Middle European cultures, while bringing a modern flavor to the
traditional German brass band style. With this blending of styles,
the band attracts a broader, non-German audience, furthering our goal of
spreading German culture through music.
The band is structured after the European
military bands of the late 1800s and performs a wide variety of music.
Our library contains marches, polkas, waltzes and tangos with over 300
compositions ranging in styles from classical to military and American to
German brass band.
Our German band is well-known throughout the
St. Louis area, having performed at many local festivals including the
Maifest in Columbia, Illinois, Bevo Day in South St. Louis, Oktoberfest in
St. Charles, and the Strassenfest in Downtown St. Louis. The band
also performs at various events for the German Cultural Society of St.
Louis including the Kirchweih Fest, Maifest, Oktoberfest, dances,
Christmas and Easter concerts. Our travels have taken us to Chicago,
Detroit, Milwaukee, Leavenworth, Kansas City and Cincinnati for
performances at festivals, dances and nightclubs. This fall we will add
Cleveland to the list.
