This concert is a unique fusion of jazz and symphonic elements, where well-known melodies are given a fresh, innovative interpretation. An ensemble of wind instruments is positioned on stage, including trumpets and trombones, French horns, a tuba, a flute, an oboe, a clarinet and a basson. Their sound will blend seamlessly into a rich tapestry of rhythms, swing and lyrics.
The program features music that has become synonymous with the era and style: the dynamic West Side Story Suite by Leonard Bernstein, the exquisite suites by Claude Bolling, the soulful compositions by Nina Simone and the legendary songs from the repertoire of Frank Sinatra. This is jazz, which has the capacity to be both bold and gentle, danceable and confessional.
This evening has been thoughtfully curated for those who find joy in the liberty of improvisation, the comforting resonance of brass instruments, and music that resonates deeply within the soul
