Concert of the Funes Music Band
We are pleased to invite you to a concert by the Villnöß Music Band, taking place in Selva di Val Gardena. Enjoy an evening of music, tradition, and passion with one of South Tyrol’s oldest and most celebrated ensembles.
First mentioned in 1801 during the consecration of the parish church of St. Peter, the Villnöß Music Band is one of the oldest in South Tyrol. After surviving the turmoil of World War I and the Fascist era, the band was revitalized in 1946 with the adoption of its current traditional costume. Under the direction of Toni Profanter in the 1980s, it reached new musical heights, including performances at the 1999 Austrian Federal Wind Band Competition and the 2010 concert evaluation in Merano. Since 2014, the band has been led by Hans Pircher. In 2022, it achieved national acclaim by winning the ÖBV Wind Orchestra Competition in Ossiach.
