Alpine Thunder team member, Jim Langenberg, has added a new valve alphorn to his performances. As we know there were only three of these made by a German instrument company. We have given the new alphorn a knickname: The Rare Tyrolean Mountain Horn.
Swiss based company Tornos will have their grand opening in the Chicagoland area on April 30th. Alpine Thunder will be providing an Alphorn Thunder trio for the event.
Alpine Thunder will participate in the 10 day Germany Week at the Daley Plaza hosted by the Chicago German American Chamber of Commerce. The theme of the Alpine Thunder cultural music program is A Musical Tour Through Germany.
Visit Alpine Thunder at the Edelweiss Restaurant, located in Norridge, every Saturday night and for other special evening events to be announced in the near future. Prost Edelweiss!
On Saturday, February 10th, 2018, Alpine Thunder performers Jim Langenberg and Kelly Bayer-Langenberg will provide a performance and workshop on alphorns for the Chicago Brass Festival hosted by Northeastern Illinois University. Both musicians are accomplished brass performers and educators and sought out for performances/events throughout the United States.
