Today, the orchestra comprises around 75 musicians. Each calendar year, Stadtmusik performs one classical concert in the Tonhalle Zurich, one entertainment concert, six public summer concerts in various squares in the city of Zurich and at other municipal, cantonal, federal and international festivals.  <\/p>\n\n<p>As part of Zurich&#8217;s Sechsel\u00e4uten, an annual folk festival at which the people of Zurich drive away the winter by symbolically burning a snowman (&#8220;B\u00f6\u00f6gg&#8221; in Swiss German), the Stadtmusik provides two ensembles. The game of the Zunft zum Weggen (bakers and millers) and the Zunft zur Schneidern (tailors, furriers and drapers). The guild games provide musical entertainment during the Sechsel\u00e4uten procession and in the guild parlors until the early hours of the morning.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4753\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-720x360.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.blasmusikfest.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/stadtmusikzuerich_header_galakonzert_01-600x300.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>In addition to the musical obligations, camaraderie is also cultivated.
