Like a recited prayer, it broke through the silence and loneliness of the mountain heights with its archaic, vibrating natural tones and delighted people so much that it gradually became a folk music instrument that was played at social gatherings. The alphorn embodies silence and contemplation as well as community like no other instrument and shows how important cohesion and conviviality are for our well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The Lochus Alphorn Quartet is a formation of professional musicians from enchanting Central Switzerland who push the boundaries of traditional alphorn music and bring a refreshing variety to the musical landscape. In addition to a traditional repertoire, they also play many of their own arrangements and compositions. Their joy of playing and experimenting with the sounds of nature make this quartet unique. Various TV and radio appearances such as at the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, SRF Potzmusig, SRF DOK Typisch Volksmusik etc. have made them well-known and popular.<\/p>\n<div class=\"usp-images-wrap\"><span class=\"usp-image-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-03-26_69c56b543be33_3.png\" class=\"lightbox\" rel=\"lightbox\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"usp-attach-id-72200\" class=\"usp-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/2026-03-26_69c56b543be33_3.png\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":72200,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","pgc_sgb_lightbox_settings":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1574],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-72199","kalender","type-kalender","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lokales-und-globales-konzertagenda"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Klang der Stille IV - Schweizer Musikzeitung<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musikzeitung.ch\/en\/kalender\/klang-der-stille-iv\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Klang der Stille IV - Schweizer Musikzeitung\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Das Alphorn war urspr\u00fcnglich ein Instrument der Bauern und Hirten, mit welchem sie auf der Alp die K\u00fche zum Melken riefen.
