Exile Orchestra MRIYA

To mark Ukraine’s Independence Day, the exile orchestra MRIYA will perform an extraordinary concert with works by German and Ukrainian composers. The ensemble was founded in March 2022 by professional musicians who had to flee to Germany to escape the horrors of the Russian war of aggression and, under the direction of violinist Kateryna Suprun, founded an ensemble that grew into the MRIYA exile orchestra with the support of the Hamburg-based funding organisation Culture Connects e. V.. With around 80 concerts in venues such as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Gewandhaus Leipzig and the Laeiszhalle Hamburg, the orchestra has established an excellent reputation.

Elbphilharmonie Creative Orchestra

Members of the Elbphilharmonie Kreativorchester (Creative Orchestra) have rehearsed together for five months now – for the grand finale, they present a concert in the Elbphilharmonie Kaistudio. All beginnings are easy in the Kreativorchester. Even the people who have not yet mastered an instrument or do not have time to play every week are invited to take part in the orchestra and draw on a wide range of experience. At the final concert, participants prove that kitchen utensils, one’s own body and plenty of improvisation can be used to create an orchestra.

Glenn Miller Orchestra

Glenn Miller Orchestra

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.
