Since its founding in 1978 by the Concert Band Association of Baden-Württemberg (Blasmusikverband Baden-Württemberg, short: B ... VBW), the State Symphonic Band of Baden-Württemberg (Landesblasorchester, short: LBO) has become one of the most successful symphonic bands in Germany. Its high musical/artistic standards and European acclaim make participation for the 85 highly qualified, dedicated musicians especially attractive. On four intensive weekends each year, the band rehearses its upcoming concert program. The repertoire includes original compositions as well as transcriptions of classical works. Premieres of new works and performances in chamber music ensembles are also frequent elements of the program. Numerous international prizes and CD productions document the extraordinary quality of the band. In 2005 the LBO was awarded first prize in gold with distinction in the Concert Division at the World Music Contest (WMC) in Kerkrade, the Netherlands. In the overall rankings, the LBO, together with conductor-in-chief at the time Isabelle Ruf-Weber, placed fourth. In 2011, the orchestra was awarded 99.5 from a possible 100 points and thereby won the 2nd International Symphonic Band Competition at the Berliner Philharmonie. In July 2015 the LBO represented Germany and Europe at the WASBE World Conference in San José California and thus undertook its biggest tour since the founding of the orchestra. In May 2016 the LBO achieved fourth place at the European Championship of Wind Orchestras (ECWO) in Utrecht, the Netherlands. The orchestra celebrated its biggest ever success again at the WMC in Kerkrade in July 2017. The LBO received 96 points, the highest number of points ever awarded to a German vice world champion. read more
