Born on 13 November 1968 in Mondsee, Gerhard Füssl studied trombone and instrumental pedagogy at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna under Horst Küblböck (1988–1994). Since 1992/1993, he has been a founding and core member of Mnozil Brass, touring internationally across more than 50 countries. Beyond performing, he has been active as a teacher at regional music schools since 1995, and from 2002 he held a teaching post at the Mozarteum Salzburg focused on crossover and new folk music.
In performance Gerhard stands out for his versatility — classical training, chamber and orchestral work, expressive depth, paired with what defines Mnozil Brass worldwide: musical virtuosity wrapped in theatrical flair.
The aim of this session was to capture both sides — the seasoned professionalism and the artistic identity of Gerhard. His connection to his instruments, the anticipation moments before the performance, and the character that only emerges from decades of brass artistry.
