Choir Concert
Sunday, 29 September 2013 at 11 o’clock, Statue of Bavaria, Theresienwiese
At the foot of the statue of Bavaria, the choirs of the Oktoberfest halls come together for a concert. During this event around 300 musicians, conducted by “guests” of the organisers, play popular Marches and Melodies together. Before the end, thousands of coloured balloons are released, which adorn the sky above the Theresienwiese.

For all those who have the opportunity to conduct here each year, it is an immense
honour and a special tribute.
The Mayor of Munich is the only organiser who is certain to participate; he has only
been absent once due to illness.

Usually anybody who works for the Wiesn city council (Wiesnstadtrat) can also
conduct, otherwise this honourable task is divided among the breweries, the hosts of
the Oktoberfest halls and also among the city’s leaders, who also have an excellent
chance of climbing up onto the stage at least once.
In 2012 among others who participated as conductors were: Dieter Reiter, festival
director, Maria Schottenhamel, festival host, Fred Geißler, leader of the Bräurosl
Ludwig Thoma Musikanten Choir, the head of Spaten, Günter Kador, member of the Wiesn
city council, Helmut Schmid, Graslhof Winklhofer, host of the ZLF festival, KVR
representative, Dr. Wilfried Blume-Beyerle and Peter Harwich, chief of police and
head of the Wiesn guard.
Upon its conclusion, the mayor conducts the choir in the Bavarian
Defiliermarsch.
With the finale, all participants must certainly feel a shiver when the countless coloured balloons float through the air while the Bavarian anthem is sung in unison by the bands on stage together with the public. All this at the foot of the statue of Bavaria under a brilliant sky.
This moment brings joy to the Bavarian traditionalists and the visitors to the
Oktoberfest who sing each year: ….Er behüte deine Fluren, schirme deiner Städte Bau
und erhalte dir die Farben seines Himmels weiß und blau!“
