The concert march "HOCH EPPAN" was commissioned by the
Bürgerkapelle St. Michael/Eppan. The occasion was the opening of the renovated Kultursaal in St. Michael/Eppan. The driving force behind it where
Franz Lintner, mayor at that time, Ralf Stefan Troger, conductor of the band, and Wilfried Bernard, president of the band.
The march was a gift from the outgoing mayor to his home town of Eppan. The premiere took place at the
opening ceremony of the Kultursaal in May 2010.
In addition to a fanfare-like introduction, the concert march also features a vocal part in the Trio.
Jul Bruno Laner, born in Eppan, is responsible for the lyrics and skilfully considers the peculiarities of the town of Eppan into the lyrics.
