Melodien von W.A. Mozart

It is meant to serve the relaxation of body and soul, promote health, has a rather cheerful cut, and naturally appeals to a broad audience, the spa music. A particularly successful advocate of this genre is the “Bad Salzuflen Orchestra.”

The founder and head of the Staatsbad Salzuflen Orchestra is the Hungarian-born György Kovacs, who studied clarinet himself and obtained his diploma at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest.

The daily spa music can be heard with an ensemble of up to seven musicians, in the mornings and afternoons, except on Mondays. During the winter months, the orchestra plays in a smaller formation. The spa concerts feature potpourris in the first half, such as from operettas and overtures, and in the second half, musical and pop melodies, swing, Dixieland, and more. Special concerts have specific themes, such as the Italian journey with music by Verdi and Rossini, or French composers like Bizet and Massenet. The most attended are the request concerts on Wednesday and Sunday afternoons.
