SPOT ON FEMALE COMPOSERS – das BJJO spielt Ende Oktober gleich zwei Konzerte

The Berlin Youth Jazz Orchestra plays new works by Monta Tupčijenko, Claudia Dörffinger, Jhoely Garay and Laura Velti, which were written especially for this large and unusual line-up by the musicians from Latvia, Germany, Mexico and Italy.

With their talent and their very individual voices, the young musicians of the BJJO form a unique body of sound in which the classical line-up has been expanded to include instruments that are unusual for jazz, such as a string quartet, vocal ensemble and accordion.

On Saturday, October 26, the orchestra will play a recording session in the Georg Neumann Hall of the Udk and cordially invites you to attend. The focus of this concert will be on recording the pieces live and with an audience in an open atmosphere.

In addition to the new compositions, the BJJO will also play pieces by its artistic directors Fabia Mantwill and Nicolai Thärichen, whose works are characterized by openness and inclusivity and break down creative boundaries.
