About Algund Easter Concert
An Easter tradition in the heart of the Burgraviato
The Osterkonzert der Algunder Musikkapelle is the annual Easter concert that gathers the public of Lagundo/Algund every Easter Sunday at the Thalguterhaus Raiffeisensaal. Located at the gates of Merano, in the heart of the Burgraviato in the province of Bolzano (Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol), the town of Lagundo maintains a vibrant band tradition, of which the Algunder Musikkapelle has been the most beloved protagonist for generations.
The Algund Wind Band
The Algunder Musikkapelle currently counts about eighty active musicians and has been led since 2000 by conductor Christian Laimer, a clarinetist and percussionist trained at the Tiroler Landeskonservatorium. The band accompanies the civil and religious life of the town and pays special attention to the musical education of young people. Throughout the year, it offers several prominent events, from the Dreikönigskonzert on Epiphany to summer concerts, but it is the Easter concert that ideally concludes the festivities with a high-quality musical moment.
A program for band music lovers
Under the baton of Christian Laimer, the "Algunder" perform high-level wind music. The program follows a proven formula that alternates transcriptions of classical works, original compositions for wind orchestra, marches, and polkas. The musicians perform in the traditional costumes of the valley, which add a touch of solemnity and color typical of South Tyrolean culture to the concert.
Atmosphere and tradition
The Easter concert is much more than just a musical event: it is a community ritual that renews the bond between the band and the town of Lagundo every year. The intimate setting of the Thalguterhaus, the historic home of the Musikkapelle's activities, offers warm acoustics and a familiar atmosphere. Admission is free: voluntary donations to support the association are appreciated.
