About the Event

Experience heavenly festive splendor and extravagant highlights at an Advent trumpet gala in Vienna's Minoritenkirche.

For more than 20 years, the Christmas concerts by Trumpets in Concert have been a festive and emotional highlight of the Christmas season for thousands of families throughout Austria.
Traditional Christmas carols, classical pieces, ballads, and catchy tunes allow us to experience the joy and dignity of Christmas up close.
The Christmas trumpet gala 'A Very Special Christmas' is a special evening, festive, contemplative, cheerful, and full of comfort.

Trumpets in Concert — A Very Special Christmas for your guests: an unforgettable musical experience during Advent!
The Christmas concerts are an insider tip for your guests to complement their cultural enjoyment with a visit to the Vienna Christmas markets.

TRUMPETS IN CONCERT has already celebrated its 25th anniversary on stage. Founded by Leonhard Leeb, the classical band has earned its high international reputation with outstanding concerts at international festivals such as the Bregenz Festival, Carinthian Summer, 'Proms at St. Jude's' in London, a tour of Canada, and a cultural guest performance in China (including the Deyang Music Festival at the Deyang Concert Hall). A highlight of their career was certainly the invitation from Austrian President Heinz Fischer, who asked them twice (in 2004 and 2010) to provide the musical backdrop for his inauguration. The international classical labels NAXOS, worldwide release of the CD 'Imperial Fanfares,' and ARS Production have long since taken notice of the trumpeters, and the BBC Online Magazine in London has also dedicated an article to them. Their album 'Requiem for a Friend' reached number 4 in the iTunes chart 'Top Classical Albums' in Spain and number 1 in the iTunes chart 'Top Classical Albums' in Austria. In 2005, they played the world premiere of 'Fanfare for Carinthia' by Sir Peter Maxwell Davis as part of the Carinthian Summer. Currently, they are ranked 91st in the iTunes chart 'Classical Album: Global' with their CD 'Imperial Fanfares.'
The three trumpeters, who trained at music universities, are making their mark on Vienna's concert scene with breathtaking performances and rousing concert evenings.
The trumpeters magnificently illuminate the sacred space of the Minorite Church in Vienna with noble tones as part of their Christmas concert 'Trumpets in Concert – A Very Special Christmas.' A wonderful mixture, light, fresh, elegant with a touch of dignity.
This time, the audience can look forward to baroque music, solemn melodies from church matins, and cheerful Christmas songs: an atmospheric pre‐Christmas season with Trumpets In Concert in the heated Minoritenkirche in Vienna.
