Mari Stanko - Music

Since Its Creation In 2004 Federspiel Has Continued To Mature Musically Developing – Initially Out Of Consideration For The Only Woodwind Instrument Of The Ensemble – A Transparent Tonal Language Far More Complex In Its Sounds Than Many Other Brass Bands. As An Artistic Heavyweight With A Repertoire Of Feather-Light Compositions The Ensemble Has Long Since Played On Well-Known Stages Including The Goldener Saal Of The Musikverein Wien The Berliner Philharmonie The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg The Vancouver Island MusicFest And Stanford University.
