About this concert
Zum Glück gibt es in Zürich zwei Orchester von Weltrang, die stilistisch vielfältig, offen für Experimente und völlig frei von musikalischen Vorurteilen sind. Unser Projekt im Juni wird zum ersten Mal Mitglieder des Tonhalle-Orchesters Zürich und des Zurich Jazz Orchestra zu einem 35-köpfigen «Jazz-Bläser-Ensemble» zusammenführen. Mitglieder beider Orchester werden als Solisten auftreten und wir werden eine Mischung aus historisch bedeutender Jazzmusik von Duke Ellington, George Russell und Charlie Parker sowie zeitgenössischer Musik von Eliane Elias, Wayne Shorter und Kenny Kirkland spielen.
