Since the first brass season in 2009, the Brass Band Carinthia is a fixed part of the Brass Season in the CMA.
The Brass Band consists mainly of brass and drum teachers of the "Musikschulen des Landes Kärnten" as well as music students. The band was founded in 2007 during a brass music training by the former group leader and member of the Austrian brass quintet HoViHoLoHoff, Robert Hofer. In 2008, the band framed the opening concert of the austrian brass music competition in Feldkirchen.
In 2020, the Brass Band Carinthia will play for the first time under musical direction of Stefan Hofer, member of HoViHoLoHoff and director of the "Musikschule Nockberge".
