Glenn Miller Orchestra

Sat, May 10, 2025, 16:00
Glenn Miller Orchestra, Scandinavia
The Glenn Miller Orchestra draws attention to world peace 80 years after the end of World War II, and highlights the importance of Glenn Miller’s music in this context. The big band welcomes 21 additional musicians at this concert, thus replicating the lineup of the Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. We hear a series of original arrangements, some of which have not been played since the war.Through his music and the unique sound of the orchestra, Glenn Miller created his own genre of swing in the jazz world. In just four years, he launched 23 number one hits – more than Elvis and The Beatles. Glenn Miller became the biggest music icon in the US. He volunteered to join the military and brought his music to Europe through his military orchestra. This would ultimately cost him his life: he disappeared in an airplane over the English Channel. But his orchestra still performs his music all over the world, more than 80 years after his passing.Glenn Miller Orchestra Scandinavia formed in 2010 with a license from Glenn Miller Productions, Inc., New York, USA. Based in Stockholm, the orchestra is led by trombone player Jan Slottenäs and regularly tours Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. Regarded by many internationally as the leading Glenn Miller orchestra, the ensemble includes several young musicians from Sweden’s jazz elite.

Nordic Christmas

Thu, Dec 19, 2024, 19:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Helene Blum (Violin), Helene Blum (Vocals), Harald Haugaard (Violin), Lena Jonsson (Violin), Kristine Elise Pedersen (Cello), Mattias Pérez (Guitar), Sune Rahbek (Drums)
Christmas is a time to find peace and to listen. To hear what is important in life. Christmas is full of traditions that connect people across age boundaries and link the present with the past. Singer Helene Blum and violinist Harald Haugaard bring the special atmosphere of the Nordic winter into the concert hall. Their programme »Nordic Christmas« celebrates this auspicious time with authentic and lovingly selected pieces and stories. The Danish musicians and their changing guests skilfully tell of the little moments, and between the notes the audience sees the tracks in the snow, hears the goblins giggling and the reindeer rattling. Time seems to stand still – until the next drum roll sounds and a lively dance begins...

Allison Miller & Myra Melford’s Lux Quartet

Thu, Mar 27, 2025, 20:30
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Dayna Stephens (Saxophon), Myra Melford (Piano), Nick Dunston (Bass), Allison Miller (Drums)
Anyone with vision should – make music! At least, as far as the Lux Quartet is concerned. With drummer Allison Miller and pianist Myra Melford, it combines two of the most visionary free-jazz musicians of our age. You could already experience both in the jazz series at the Elbphilharmonie and Laeiszhalle as a duo; now, they come to the Recital Hall at the Elbphilharmonie as the main act with saxophonist Dayna Stephens and bassist Nick Dunston. With Alison Miller, one of the most creative drummers and bandleaders is at its heart. She was picked up by »Downbeat Magazine« in their line-up of the »Top 20 Jazz Drummers« and the American radio station NPR Music rates her composition »Otis Was a Polar Bear« as one of the »200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women«. The title of their current CD project »Tomorrowland« hints that the Lux Quartet is pursuing its experimental approach on its new record as well and once again expands on its own expectations of the future. As an established team, the combo can steadfastly rely on each other and so is in position to have no difficulty with free improvisations at any conceivable musical place.

Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.

Moka Efti Orchestra

Sun, Jan 26, 2025, 18:00
Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)
Moka Efti Orchestra
The Moka Efti Orchestra, the original 14-piece big band from the hit German TV show »Babylon Berlin«, invites you to travel back in time a hundred years to the »roaring« 1920s. In 1929, the year the series is set in, the world was a very different place. Berlin was wild, dirty, glamorous and party-loving. In the »Moka Efti«, one of the city’s entertainment palaces, people danced the Charleston to opulent big-band numbers. The Elbphilharmonie Recital Hall is now transformed into a dance hall itself when the Moka Efti Orchestra, led by composers Nikko Weidemann and Mario Kamien, and saxophonist and arranger Sebastian Borkowski, bring back the music and the feeling for life of that bygone era.
