Lucerne winners at the World Youth Music Festival
The BML Talents of the Brassband Bürgermusik Lucerne won the Concert Music Brass Band High Level and the Parade Music at the World Youth Music Festival in Zurich last weekend.
From July 6 to 10, 2017, over 80 youth music formations from all over the world presented themselves to a jury of experts. Under the direction of Patrick Ottiger, the BML Talents impressed the jury so much that they achieved the highest score in their category twice, bringing two world championship titles to Lucerne.
As the Bürgermusik writes, the junior formation gave two outstanding performances of both the task piece "Fight for Liberty", which was composed by Mario Bürki, and their own choice piece "...as a Glow" by Ludovic Neurohr.
This is the BML Talents' second participation in the World Youth Music Festival in Zurich. Their last participation was in 2012, when they also won in both categories.
