had previously played in various military bands. The 47th Regiment Band
also performed in the city and gave promenade concerts, and occasional-
ly the 17th Regiment Band from Ljubljana and the military band from Kla-
genfurt made guest appearances in Maribor.159 The newly established Mar-
ibor Philharmonic Association (Marburger philharmonischer Verein) was
founded to perform instrumental and vocal music and raise the general
level of musical culture in the city.
The Maribor Philharmonic Association was founded in Decem-
ber 1881 and began its activities in January 1882. Augustin Satter (1838–
1894)160 from Kirchbach, a music teacher at the Pedagogical College and
regens chori in the Maribor Cathedral, was elected the first conduc-
tor of the orchestra. The aim of the association was to perform instru-
mental and vocal music in concerts and church performances, with an
emphasis on classical works. Vocal and orchestra rehearsals began in
early January 1882, and a music school was opened with a vocal and vi-
olin section. In its first season, the school had 104 pupils: 69 violin stu-
dents and 28 singing students.161 In addition to Satter, Gabrijel Majcen
(1858–1940) and the former Celje Kapellmeister Anton David from Vöck-
labruck also taught at the school. The members were noblemen, music lov-
ers, important officers, wealthy citizens of Maribor, and priests as well as
church musicians from the city,162 such as Peregrin Manich (1812–1897)163
