Eugen Brixel (27 March 1939 – 16 October 2000) was an Austrian composer, musician and musicologist.
At first, Eugen Brixel learned the profession of druggist, in accordance with his parents' wishes.
On 12 June 1956 he passed the druggist's examination, but his passion belonged to playing the clarinet.
[3] In the Styrian Wind Music Association he was first active from 1970 as regional youth advisor, then from 1978 as federal youth advisor in the Austrian Wind Music Association [de] (ÖBV), before the ÖBV appointed him federal bandmaster in 1989.
In the three international organisations in the bosom of UNESCO dedicated to specific questions of wind music, he was anchored in the presidium: in the CISM as chairman of the music advisory board, in the IGEB (International Society for the Research and Promotion of Wind Music) as vice-president and in the WASBE (World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles) as an advisory board member.
