Wind concert inaugurates "Kornhaus Kultur" preceding the Allgäuer Festwoche in Kempten
In the charming town of Kempten and its surrounding areas, a vibrant array of cultural and entertainment events await visitors this year. The Kornhaus Kempten, newly renovated, recently hosted a wind ensemble concert by the St. Mang Music Society and the Bobingen Music Society, marking the beginning of a series of captivating events.
On a rainy evening, over 400 visitors sought refuge in the Kornhaus just before the concert, finding solace as the weather outside was outsmarted by the event management. The concert, which marked the beginning of pre-festival events for the 74th Allgäu Festival, was a resounding success.
The Bobingen Music Society, a town of about 18,000 inhabitants located about 10 kilometers south of Augsburg, presented a repertoire of contemporary symphonic wind music. The concert included music from films, video games, and pieces composed especially for the occasion. The St. Mang Music Society, known for their energetic performances, delivered a lively rock opening after the intermission, culminating in the classic "New York, New York".
The Kornhaus hall was packed during the concert, a testament to the growing interest in the Allgäu region's cultural scene. The concert, conducted by Franz Bader (Bobingen Music Society) and Martin Bisle (St. Mang Music Society), was a memorable evening of music and camaraderie.
