In 1978, five solo brass players of the Hof Symphony Orchestra formed a chamber ensemble, known then as the Hofer Blechbläser Ensemble. So began an odyssey which to date indcludes eleven long play recordings, numerous radio and television appearances, international concert tours to more than 20 countries including America and the Far East and a European performance schedule which includes most of the EU and beyond. Rekkenze's international membership of musicians from America , Switzerland and Germany has created a unique and eclectic approach to music making and has earned Rekkenze a reputation as one of Europe's leading brass chamber music ensembles. For audiences varying from pre-school children to heads of state including the Bundespresident, the name "Rekkenze " (the old Slavic name for the city of Hof) has become synonymous with this special approach to making music.
