Blechschaden is an eclectic brass ensemble hailing from Munich, Germany, known for their virtuosic skill and humorous performances that bring a unique twist to the brass music scene. The group, consisting of members of the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, was founded in 1985 by their trombonist and charismatic frontman, Bob Ross—not to be confused with the American painter of the same name. They quickly became beloved for their ability to blend classical music proficiency with an entertaining showmanship that often includes comical antics, quirky costumes, and a diverse repertoire that spans from traditional classical pieces to popular music arrangements.

Through their career, Blechschaden has delighted audiences with a range of themed shows and recordings. Their album "Back to the 50s - 60s and 70s by Bob Ross - The Number One Hits!" showcases their flair for reinterpretation, presenting iconic hits from these decades with all the pomp and fun of brass instrumentation. To celebrate their 35th anniversary, they released "35 Jahre Jubiläumsedition - Das Beste vom Besten," a collection of fan favorites that encapsulates their dynamic history and musical journey. They have also embraced holiday spirit with releases like "Weihnachten mit Blechschaden," which features a set of festive tunes reimagined through their trademark blend of humor and musicality. Known for their engaging live performances, Blechschaden remains a staple in the concert halls of Europe and continues to gain international acclaim for their innovative approach to brass music.
