Our 30+ piece German brass band, under the direction of award-winning musician, band leader and Grammy Nominee Fred Ziwich, performs about 18 times per year, so please check out our performance schedule if you’d like to see us live. We’re also glad to sell you a copy of our DMV LIVE CD, which includes many of our best tunes recorded live (as they should be heard!). You can also view our picture gallery for fun photos of our latest performances and travels. Some of the photos are from our 2000 and 2007 tours of southern Germany and Austria, which included performances at Munich’s famous Hofbrauhaus.
We’re always looking for new members, so if you play a band instrument and live in the Cleveland area, please contact us. We rehearse weekly on Monday nights at 8:30 at the Sachsenheim Hall at 7001 Denison Avenue on Cleveland’s west side.
Or, please consider us if you’re looking to add a bit of festive German “oom-pah” music to your event. Remember, any event is potentially an Oktoberfest!
Pros't!
