We've been enjoying the music of KOSER for quite some time now, via Musikfest discovery and the Philly music scene. Koser is the namesake of the band and is the frontwoman with powerhouse performance chops, and a brilliant flair for melody and finding that hook that has you coming back for more.During last year's Musikfest Daily LIvestreams, the universe did its magic, by having the schedule bring on Koser along with the people behind Soberplatz, and then the magic took over. Koser is herself on a sober journey, celebrating 8 years now.Richard Liu was at that Daily Livestream last summer as well, and will join as our guest co-host for the episode. He's connected with both ArtsQuest and Sync Recovery and was a driving force behind making Soberplatz happen last year, and it's return again at this year's Musikfest.KOSER is playing a free show on the Levitt SteelStacks this Friday, June 5th and it's called the Path to Soberplatz, to announce it's return. And they are also performing at Musifkest again this year as well.This interview is sure to touch on a number of powerful and interesting topics, and it sounds like KOSER might perform live during the broadcast. Please tune in and share your thoughts and questions during the livestream!Band BioKOSER is an alternative rock band known for fusing brooding textures with explosive energy. The group draws from post-punk, grunge, and electronic influences to craft a sound that's delightfully soulful and sonically rich. Their music balances heavy, cinematic atmospheres with razor-sharp hooks and honest lyricism. Formed in 2022, KOSER is made up of 5 virtuosos whose live shows channel the same energy as their recordings— moody, immersive, and sneakily powerful. Pairs well with Mannequin Pussy, Radiohead, and Hayley Williams.Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band". If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!

Beim Eidgenössischen Musikfest in Biel trat die MG Fafleralp Blatten mit dem eigens in Auftrag gegebenen Stück «Tschäggättä» auf. In der Fiirabigmusig auf der SRF Musikwelle ist ein Ausschnitt des Wettbewerbsvortrags der MG Fafleralp Blatten zu hören. Die Aufführung des Selbstwahlstücks «Tschäggättä» wurde für alle Mitglieder zu einem emotionalen Erlebnis. Der Verein hatte das Stück nämlich bereits vor dem verheerenden Bergsturz vom 28. Mai 2025 beim englischen Komponisten Simon Dobson in Auftrag gegeben. Simon Dobson habe rasch zugesagt, freut sich Nicole Kalbermatten, die Präsidentin der MG Fafleralp Blatten. «Er hat uns im März 2025 besucht und war sehr fasziniert von unserer Kultur und den ‚Tschäggättä‘.» Diese habe er dann in seine Komposition eingebaut. Vor dem Eidgenössischen Musikfest reiste Dobson noch einmal ins Wallis, um den Verein bei den Proben zu unterstützen. Musikalisch konnte die MG Fafleralp Blatten mit ihrem Auftritt beim Eidgenössischen Musikfest mehr als zufrieden sein. Sie durfte mit einem Sieg auf der Paradestrecke und einem siebten Rang im Konzertvortrag in der Kategorie Brass Band 2. Klasse nach Hause reisen. «Besser hätte es nicht laufen können», sagt Nicole Kalbermatten.

In der nationalen Spezialsendung blickt SRF auf das Eidgenössische Musikfest 2026 in Biel zurück und lässt die schönsten Momente des musikalischen Megaevents noch einmal aufleben. Vom 14. bis 17.

Mit über 500 Vereinen, 22'000 Musizierenden, 2400 Helfenden und Zehntausenden Musikfans zählt dieser Event zu den weltweit grössten Musikveranstaltungen. Vier Tage pure Feststimmung, musikalische Leidenschaft und grossartige Blasmusik-Power – das ist «Bella Musica». Die nationale Spezialsendung blickt noch einmal auf die schönsten und emotionalsten Momente zurück, zeigt musikalische Highlights und lässt die Schweizer Blasmusik hochleben. In der vibrierenden Atmosphäre der Bieler Coupole ertönen Fanfaren, Harmonien und Brass Bands. «Bella Musica» rückt die Vielfalt der eidgenössischen Blasmusik-Szene ins Rampenlicht, überrascht mit einem vielfältigen Repertoire und verbindet Tradition und Moderne. Von der Fanfare de Crissier über Schwyzerörgeli-Virtuose Marc Tschanz bis hin zu Vagamundos und Hello Heidi mit ihrem frechen Jodel – die Kreativität ist kaum zu überbieten. Mit von der Partie sind die Lookseego Street Band mit ihrem energiegeladenen musikalischen Mix sowie eine Reportage über die Fanfare L'Avenir de Chamoson. «Bella Musica» besucht verschiedene Musikschulen und Konservatorien, die den musikalischen Nachwuchs der Schweiz ausbilden. Ausserdem fährt der Bieler Künstler und Musiker Cee-Roo im E-Tuk-Tuk durch Biel und lädt Festivalbesucherinnen und -besucher dazu ein, verschiedene Blasinstrumente auszuprobieren.

Die Harmoniemusik Glarus will sich beim diesjährigen Eidgenössischen Musikfest in Biel beweisen. Das Hobbyorchester muss ein schwieriges Stück präsentieren, von dem nicht alle im Verein begeistert sind. Denn in einem Blasmusikverein ist das heitere Vereinsleben mindestens so wichtig wie die Musik. Für die vierköpfige Familie Oertli ist der Blasmusikverein ein Lebensgefühl. Schon seit Jahrzehnten sind die Eltern Mitglieder der Harmoniemusik Glarus und haben ihre Leidenschaft an die beiden Söhne weitergegeben. Für Sohn Noël wird es am «Eidgenössischen» ernst. Als Tambourmajor führt er das Orchester durch die Bieler Innenstadt.
Das erste elsässische Musikfest wird mit einem denkwürdigen Konzert eröffnet. Auf dem Programm: Mahlers 5. Symphonie und die Tondichtung "Sinfonia Domestica" von Richard Strauss . Beide Werke dirigiert von den Komponisten selbst.
Am Wochenende ging das eidgenössische Musikfest in Biel über die Bühne. In der Höchstklasse Harmonie – der wichtigsten Kategorie – holte sich die Feldmusik Sarnen den Festsieg. Weiter in der Sendung: · Über 30'000 Menschen besuchten die Nidwaldner Gewerbeausstellung «Iheimisch».
Der Dirigent und Saxofonist Dani Zeiter gewinnt mit Andwil Arnegg in zwei Kategorien. Und auch mit seinem zweiten Verein Dietlikon hat er es auf das Podest geschafft. Im Gespräch spricht er über die Arbeit mit Amateurvereinen, das Bewerten von Blasmusik und wieso eine Teilnahme am Musikfest guttut. Weitere Themen: · Der Kanton Thurgau kontrolliert Schutzzonen rund um Grundwasserpumpen. · Ostschweizer Unternehmen klagen über zu wenig Aufträge. · Zollbeamte entdecken bei einem Passagier 356'000 Euro Bargeld. · Die Sanierung der Selunbahn verzögert sich, weil das Geld fehlt. · Ein Verein rettet die Badi Glarus.
Vier Tage war Biel die Hauptstadt der Schweizer Blasmusik – gestern war das Fest vorbei. Das OK ist zufrieden: Über 100'000 Besucher und Besucherinnen haben zugehört. Der Mut, neue Sachen auszuprobieren, habe sich gelohnt, findet die OK-Präsidentin. Weitere Themen in der Sendung: · Fussball: Thun und St. Gallen trennen sich 1:1 unentschieden YB und Sion ebenfalls unentschieden mit 3:3
Am Sonntagabend ging das Eidgenössische Musikfest 2026 zu Ende. Für den Grossanlass reisten über 24'000 Musizierende und über 100'000 Besucher nach Biel. OK-Präsidentin Nadja Günthör verliess die Bühne nach der Schlussfeier mit Tränen in den Augen. Im Gespräch mit der SRF Musikwelle sagte sie: «Es sind Freudentränen». Sie gratulierte dem ganzen OK-Team für die geleistete Arbeit: «Es hat mich enorm gefreut, so viele zufriedene Vereine zu sehen. Es gibt für uns nichts Schöneres.» Mit grosser Spannung wurden am letzten Tag die Ergebnisse der Kategorie «Harmonie Höchstklasse» erwartet. Siegerin war die Feldmusik Sarnen. «Es ist verrückt schön», sagte Dirigent Sandro Blank im Anschluss an die Rangverkündigung und fügte hinzu: «Ich habe grössten Respekt vor der Leistung meiner Musikantinnen und Musikanten.» Für einen sehr emotionalen Moment sorgte am Sonntag auch die Musikgesellschaft Fafleralp Blatten. Weniger als ein Jahr nach dem verheerenden Bergsturz nahm die Lötschentaler Brass Band am Eidgenössischen Musikfest teil und wurde vom Publikum frenetisch bejubelt. «Es war überwältigend, einfach wunderschön», sagte Präsidentin Nicole Kalbermatten.

Der Euphonist der MG Kappelen-Werdt nimmt in Biel bereits zum zehnten Mal an einem Eidgenössischen Musikfest teil. Mit 70 Jahren als aktiver Musikant darf sich der 86-Jährige «Eidgenössischer Ehrenveteran» nennen. Das ist die höchste Auszeichnung, die ein Blasmusikant in der Schweiz erhalten kann. Sie wird vom Schweizer Blasmusikverband SBV verliehen. Während all der Jahre blieb er nicht nur der Blasmusik, sondern auch seinem Verein treu. Begonnen hat er mit dem Flügelhorn. «Damals bekam man einfach ein Instrument zugeteilt», erinnert er sich im Gespräch mit der SRF Musikwelle. Später spielte er Es-Bass, Tenorhorn und heute Euphonium. Das Eidgenössische Musikfest in Biel im Jahr 1976 war sein erstes Eidgenössisches: «Damals war es heiss, anders als heute», erinnert er sich. «Ich fühle mich immer noch gut, die Gesundheit und der Atem sind das Wichtigste», sagt Robert Biedermann. Er freut sich, dass er in der MG Kappelen-Werdt immer noch mitspielen kann. Die Kameradschaft im Verein geniesse er sehr. Und natürlich die Musik: «Ich höre gerne Blasmusik, sie tut meiner Seele gut», sagt er und schmunzelt: «Das Musizieren hält mich jung.»
Vor einem Jahr ging in der Basler St. Jakobshalle der ESC über die Bühne. Dabei waren die Fans voll des Lobes für die Halle. Und in Basel hoffte man, dass der ESC eine Kehrtwende für die Halle werden würde. Doch dem ist nicht so. Ausserdem im Magazin: (00:03:33) ZH: Ensemble-Psychologin im Schauspielhaus Es ist eine Premiere der etwas anderen Art: Das Zürcher Schauspielhaus stellte im vergangenen Sommer eine Ensemble-Psychologin an. Das gibt es sonst kaum im deutschsprachigen Theaterraum. Die Psychologin ist selber Schauspielerin und gleichzeitig neu eben auch Psychologin für ihre Kolleginnen und Kollegen. (00:06:23) LU: Das Luzerner Wagner Museum arbeitet die eigene Geschichte auf Dass Richard Wagner Antisemit war, ist zwar nicht neu - die Stadt Luzern und das Richard Wagner Museum haben dennoch die Luzerner Wagner-Geschichte wissenschaftlich auf antisemitische Bezüge untersuchen lassen. Ein Bericht zeigt, dass der Antisemitismus des Komponisten "sehr deutlich und unmissverständlich" war. Auch die Museumsgründung in den 1930er-Jahren habe in einem belasteten Umfeld stattgefunden. (00:09:31) AG: In Bünzen wird seit 50 Jahren gekneippt Sebastian Kneipps 5-Säulen-Lehre (Wasser, Ernährung, Bewegung, Kräuter und Lebensordnung) ist ein wenig in Vergessenheit geraten. Es gibt heute noch landesweit 14 Kneipp-Vereine. Die Wasserkur aus dem 19. Jahrhundert hat aber immer noch eine Vielzahl von Anhängerinnen und Anhängern. Den meist pensionierten Kneipp-Anhängern in Muri scheint die Kur gut zu bekommen. (00:12:19) BE: Die helfenden Hände am Eidgenössischen Musikfest in Biel Es ist das Highlight der Blasmusik-Fans - das Eidgenössische Musikfest in Biel. Um das Fest mit 25'000 Musizierenden aus der ganzen Schweiz zu stemmen, braucht es Hunderte Freiwillige. Auch 15 Personen vom Deutschen Blasmusik-Verband packen mit an.

Volksmusik rund um das Eidgenössische Musikfest in Biel. Vom 14. bis 17. Mai steht Biel ganz im Zeichen der Blasmusik: Am 35. Eidgenössischen Musikfest treffen sich rund 25'000 Musikantinnen und Musikanten aus der ganzen Schweiz. Über 550 Vereine treten an diesem Grossanlass auf 15 Bühnen in verschiedenen Kategorien und Stärkeklassen an. Dazu werden über 100'000 Besucherinnen und Besucher erwartet. Diese «Fiirabigmusig» greift das Eidgenössische Musikfest auf – mit einem Blick auf die Verbindung von Blasmusik und Jodelgesang. Zwar steht am Eidgenössischen Musikfest die Blasmusik im Mittelpunkt, doch seit vielen Jahren gibt es zahlreiche Berührungspunkte zum Jodeln. Verschiedene Komponisten haben Werke geschaffen, in denen sich Jodelgesang und Blasmusik ergänzen. Genau solche Aufnahmen sind in dieser Sendung zu hören – mal konzertant und feierlich, mal volkstümlich und bodenständig. Die Sendung zeigt, wie eng die beiden Musiktraditionen vielerorts verbunden sind – sei es bei gemeinsamen Auftritten, Festanlässen oder in speziellen Kompositionen für Jodelchor und Blasorchester. Damit entsteht eine musikalische Brücke zwischen dem Eidgenössischen Musikfest und der Welt des Jodelns.

Wallis: Zweifel an Rechtmässigkeit von Wolfsabschuss, Not Vital: Vergangenheit holt den Bündner Künstler ein, 35. Eidgenössisches Musikfest in Biel BE
Die Kantone Freiburg und Wallis lancieren eine Webseite – zusammen mit den Kantonen Waadt und Jura. Das Ziel: Patois – also die Dialekte in der Westschweiz – sichtbar machen und erhalten. Weiter in der Sendung: · Das eidgenössische Musikfest in Biel startet heute.
550 Vereine, über 20'000 Musikerinnen und Musiker und geschätzte 100'000 Gäste: In den nächsten Tagen steht Biel ganz im Zeichen der Blasmusik. Wir sind dabei, wenn das Jugendensemble der Bieler Stadtmusik probt und besuchen das Jugendzentrum Gaskessel, das ebenfalls am Blasmusikfest mit dabei ist. Weiter in der Sendung: · Sollen Unternehmen im Kanton Bern auch weiterhin Kirchensteuern zahlen? Die Berner Kantonsregierung bringt eine neue Idee ins Spiel. · War der Abschuss eines Wolfs Anfang Mai bei Staldenried rechtens? Der Kanton Wallis und der Bund sind sich nicht einig.
I became a fan of Weakened Friends straight off of the first listen of their iconic hit "Blue Again" back in 2019 in preparation of Musikfest that summer. This many years later, and now hosting a podcast, the opportunity came up to be able to interview Sonia Sturino and Annie Hoffman and I jumped at the opportunity.They've just released brand new music, and it is there best stuff yet. The album is called Feels Like Hell, and comes out of a long wait - not quite "writer's block", more like waiting for the right time to harness the songwriting creativity.We get in to all the things - their early journeys to music, how the found each other, finding balance between their approaches that can be at odds, and navigating where people are allowed to go on stage.Band BioThe story of Weakened Friends unfolds a bit like Fleetwood Mac's—minus the cocaine, plus a dose of multivitamins. Just over a decade ago, vocalist Sonia Sturino invited bassist Annie Hoffman to start a new band. Now, ten years later, they're three albums deep into the band that would come to define their lives—and Sonia and Annie are married.Grounded in love, Weakened Friends make music to soundtrack the movie of your life—whether screaming along in the car with friends, serenading your cat, falling in love, getting married, or starting a band.Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".

Das 1937 komponierte großformatige Oratorium "Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln" von Franz Schmidt ist eine Vertonung der "Apokalypse des Johannes" für sechs Solisten, großen Chor und Orchester. In der Hamburger Elbphilharmonie wird dieses außergewöhnliche Werk zur Eröffnung des Internationalen Musikfestes Hamburg am 1. und 2. Mai erstmals zu hören sein. Mit dabei sind: ein hochkarätig besetztes Sängerensemble, das NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester, der MDR-Rundfunkchor und das NDR Vokalensemble. Am Pult steht Manfred Honeck."Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln" gilt als eines der letzten großen Monumente der österreichischen Spätromantik. "Für mich ist es ein Schlüsselwerk", so Honeck, "was er da an gewagten Klängen und musikalischen Feinheiten anbietet, ist gigantisch".Zu Gast bei NDR Kultur à la carte spricht Manfred Honeck mit Beate Scheibe über ein faszinierendes Oratorium, über seine Arbeit und die bald zwanzigjährige Amtszeit als Musikdirektor des Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.

This episode is special - as it represents the perfect outcome of what this show was build on and all about. The Vindys were the band at the top of our "must see" list heading in to Musikfest 2025 last summer, and they exceeded expectations with an incredible performance. Then they were also super nice and agreed to come on the show. So here we are, sitting down with lead singer and head songwriter Jackie Popovec, lead guitarist John Anthony, and rhythm guitarist Rick Deak.For the past decade, The Vindys have been captivating audiences with their signature blend of rock, soul, and pop. Hailing from Youngstown, Ohio, the band has built a devoted following through electrifying live performances and heartfelt songwriting.At the heart of The Vindys is powerhouse vocalist and songwriter Jackie Popovec, who has earned high praise from none other than Pat Benatar, who raved, “She's amazing. That girl can sing her ass off.” She's backed by an exceptional lineup, with John Anthony delivering electrifying lead guitar, Rick Deak on rhythm guitar, Owen Davis on drums, Brendan Burke on bass, and Nathan Anthony on keys. Together, this dynamic ensemble crafts a sound that Music Connection Magazine hails as “rock and roll at its finest.”This is one you're not going to want to miss!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".
