The BLÄSERENSEMBLE SABINE MEYER made its début in 1985 in the Swiss town of La Chaux-de-Fonds. Since then, the Ensemble has given many concerts in Germany and many major European cities, including Milan, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, Basel, Zürich, Geneva, Brussels and Barcelona. They have appeared at various festivals (Berlin, Schleswig-Holstein, Rheingau, the Schwarzenberg Schubertiade, Ludwigsburg and the Lucerne Festival) and in 1994 gave their first concert in Japan. Impressed by their outstanding musicianship, Claudio Abbado has engaged the services of the BLÄSERENSEMBLE SABINE MEYER for the new LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA for the next few years.
