We are finally back! After two years of lockdowns we are very happy to have played our first performance at a festival in New Jersey to celebrate music from Vienna.
Let the Alphorn sound to bring joy to people!
The International Alphornensemble will perform the weekend of Oct 4., 5., and 6, 2019 at the SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA. We will also be there the following weekend of Oct 12. and 13. Check it out. Prosit!
Last weekend I met with Issa and Manny to experiment with a sound combination that I guess was never heard so far.
Indian drum, Tibetan Crystal Bowl and Swiss Alphorn. That was quite meditative and the three instruments blended well together. We will continue to experiment.
The International Alphorn Ensemble is in full swing at Oktoberfests. This Sunday and next weekend Oct 7, 8, and 9 we perform at the SteelStacks in Bethlehem, PA. See you.
The NJ Alphorn Ensemble is invited back to the SteelStack Oktoberfest at ArtsQuest in Bethlehem, PA on October 2, 3, and 4, and October 9, 10, and 11. Check it out

The International Alphorn Ensemble was invited again to the 2014 Oktoberfest at the ArtsQuest Center in Bethlehem, PA. We performed in beautiful sunshine, but also in rain. We were well equipped with our fiberglass Alphorns. Water and rain does not impact their sound.
Ted Schlossberg and Martina Struck from the American Alphorn Society play the alphorn at the Oktober Fest in Bethlehem, PA and in front of the steel stacks. Watch this music video in an amazing environment. The echo does not come from the Swiss mountains but from a huge steel stack.
The International Alphorn Ensemble will perform this Friday evening, and Saturday and Sunday from 1-5 p.m. at the Oktoberfest in Bethlehem, PA at the SteelStacks. Great music, great food, and great company.
This blog is about Alphorns in America, and for Alphorn players and friends in the USA.
We are Alphorn players in New Jersey and would love to hear from you.
The American Alphorn Society like the International Alphorn Society foster the mission to gather people in the US and around the world, who have a mutual interest in the origin, culture and performance of the Alphorn, and to develop awareness of the versatility of this ancient instrument.
