The NJ Alphorn Ensemble performed at the international bike race in Basking Ridge, NJ which was sponsored by Ricola. Check out the video of this unusual event of a combination of Alphorn music and bike racing. The racers cycled for 40 laps around the town, and every time they raced by, we played a song on the Alphorn. We were as exhausted as the racers and we also counted the laps! We play Amazing Grace on the video.

The Alphorn Society performed for Dr. Ruth’s 80 birthday in July 2008. Dr. Ruth Westheimer loves the Alphorn, and invited two Alphorn players to perform at her celebration. She loves Alphorn music, and she had a special wish for a song: ‘es Buurebuebli’. An arrangement was done for this song on Alphorn, all in high notes, and the Alphorn players really went to their limits to fullfill her wish. And she was happy! See the newspaper article.

Members of the International Alphorn Society in New Jersey, USA performed at a street fair in Westfield, NJ and played the song “Kein schoener Land”. Please listen to the recording of this song played on four Alphorns at that street fair.
