Let’s get to work! A walking concert with the Bremen Town Musicians | zamus: early music festival 2026

Lilli Pätzold – cornetto

Laura Dümpelmann – pommer, arrangements

Alexandra Mikheeva – slide trumpet, trombone

Andreas Gilger – presenter

The Bremen-based ensemble [hanse]Pfeyfferey revives the ancient tradition of the town pipers in a trio formation. Historical music resounds from towers, squares and winding alleyways, played on wind instruments suitable for open-air performances, such as the pommer and slide trumpet. During a guided walk through Cologne city centre, musical performances by [hanse]Pfeyfferey are combined with informative commentary from presenter and musician Andreas Gilger. The starting point is the Kolumba Museum; the route leads via further stops to the Basilica of St. Aposteln. Along the way, participants can expect a special blend of sound and narrative perspective: a journey through music, history and city life.

Walking concert accessible to hearing aid and cochlear implant users via an induction loop system.

In collaboration with the German Association for the Hard of Hearing, Cologne Branch e. V.
