Bier Musikanten at DH Volksfest 2022

Blasmusik is to Germany what brass music is to New Orleans.
The Bier Musikanten is a 5 piece brass band and friends plus an occasional accordion founded by members of the Deutsches Haus in 2021. The goal is to play German brass music, Schlager and everything else that keeps our roots alive.

Mixing different styles of a traditional “Blasorchester” with Oktoberfest music, wine drinking songs from the Rhein area, a classical formation of “Posaunenchor” playing Christmas chorals, throwing in the Saxophone and drums as an ingredient of a Nola Brass Band and the occasional accordion to provide that extra touch of Zydeco, we are having fun with a bit of everything for each season. Check out our favorite song setlist below. For the traditional Christmas market bring your instrument and join us for our Kurrende Brass.

Deutsches Haus Hymn (to the melody of “So lang der alte Peter”)

As long as old Louis at Armstrong Park glows,
As long as the Mississippi through New Orleans flows,
As long as here at the Bayou stands the Deutsches Haus,
So long not dies the coziness in N’awlins never out,
So long not dies the coziness in N’awlins never out.

Christmas Kurrende Brass

Kurrende Brass – bring your instrument & play Christmas carols with the Haus Band. Let’s bring together musicians of all ages and skill levels to play Christmas carols – like caroling in Jackson Square, but with instruments.

A selection of Songs will be played as published in “Christmas Time” by Forrest L. Buchtel. You are more than welcome to bring your instrument and join us for this Kurrende Brass.
