Dear Friends of Brass Music!

After the great success of the first Brass Boat trip, we’re taking it up a notch in 2026: more music, more workshops, more shared experiences! From October 31 to November 6, 2026, it’s once again time to say “Cast off!” – this time aboard the MS LORD BYRON, departing from and returning to Lyon, cruising through the beautiful south of France. Seven days full of musical enjoyment, French flair, and unforgettable moments await you!

As your captain, I’ll be joined in 2026 by Leonhard Paul, Albert Wieder, Sebastian Fuchsberger, and Michael Hornek. Our special guest for all woodwind players: Josef Menzl who will bring fresh inspiration to the journey. New features include Open Brass Nights and a party night with DJ Gansch & MC Paul – top-notch entertainment guaranteed!

I’m already looking forward to making musical waves together with you and turning this special journey through southern France into an unforgettable experience.

Your captain Thomas Gansch
