The International Society for the Research and Promotion of Wind Music (IGEB) brings together researchers and professionals who deal with the history, practice, and cultural significance of wind music. Its conferences create space for exchange between musicology, performance practice, and organology. The newly published Conference Book 2026<\/em> records contributions from the 28th International Wind Music Conference in Bern.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

IGEB as a Forum for Wind Music Research<\/h2>\n\n

Wind music is not only part of the repertoire of orchestras and ensembles but also a field of research with historical, social, and technical questions. IGEB is dedicated to the scientific research and promotion of this area. Its conferences and publications make research results accessible and stimulate professional exchange.<\/p>\n\n

For conductors, musicologists, and active musicians, such publications offer an opportunity to learn about developments and historical contexts that can also influence the selection and classification of repertoire.<\/p>\n\n

The 28th Conference in Bern<\/h2>\n\n

The conference took place from July 2 to 6, 2026<\/strong> in Bern. Its title was Wind Music \u2013 Cultural Heritage in Transition<\/em>. The program addressed wind music as cultural heritage in transition and included historical, social, aesthetic, and technical perspectives.[1]<\/p>\n\n

Among the announced contributions, Yannick Wey presented a study on the growing diversity of social functions of wind music in the early 19th century. Philipp Wagner focused on the history of Swiss military music. Damien Sagrillo discussed the relationship between wind music, cultural heritage, and musicological legitimation, as well as editing as a research tool. Other contributions dealt with historical key mechanisms and the use of 3D printing in oboe construction, as well as recording techniques for wind instruments before 1925, among other topics.[1]<\/p>\n\n

Thus, the program brought together historical research with questions of instrument development and documentation. It also focused on the role of wind orchestras in social and cultural contexts. The topics show that wind music research goes beyond the history of works and composers: it also examines performance practice, institutions, technology, and tradition.<\/p>\n\n

The Conference Book 2026<\/em><\/h2>\n\n

The IGEB Conference Book, Bern 2026<\/a><\/em> was published in 2026 by Kliment Musikverlag. Damien Sagrillo compiled and edited the volume. The publisher’s catalog lists German and English as text languages.[2] This means the publication targets an international specialist audience and documents the scientific work of the Bern conference in book form.<\/p>\n\n

Particularly relevant is the thematic breadth already evident in the conference program: contributions connect historical source work with current questions on cultural heritage, instrument making, and recording technology. Thus, the volume offers a professional reference point for further engagement with the conference topics.<\/p>\n\n

The available publisher information confirms the editorship, year of publication, and languages. However, a complete table of contents for the book is not available in the cited information. Therefore, individual contributions or specific research findings from the volume cannot be definitively listed here.<\/p>\n\n

A Contribution to Documentation and Exchange<\/h2>\n\n

The Bern Conference and the Conference Book 2026<\/em> demonstrate how IGEB promotes wind music research as a connection between scientific analysis and musical practice. The publication records contributions on various aspects of the field and makes them available beyond the conference period.<\/p>\n\n

This documentation is significant for the professional classification of wind music: it supports the exchange between research and musical practice and opens up starting points for further investigations into repertoire, history, and instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n
