Kofler Armin
Armin Kofler was born in 1981 in Bozen, South Tyrol, Italy. At the age of five his father began to teach him the keyboard. Four years later he started to learn the trumpet at the local music school. In 1996, Armin joined Lengstein band, of which he is still a member today. The practical experience Armin acquired in the band, and his studies of many scores has inspired and empowered him to compose his first piece „A New Age“ which was premiered by Lengstein band under the direction of Manfred Gampenrieder in 2001. From 2002 until 2004 Armin attended a conducting course organised by the South Tyrolean Band Association which, in regard to his composing, has proven extremely helpful. Since 2004, Armin Kofler has composed several additional works for wind band as well as brass band and other brass formations.
