Fuchsthone Orchestra - Reloaded #6 feat. Videoartist Claudia Schmitz (live moving images)

FUCHSTHONE Reloaded #6 is all about visualization, improvisation and new ensemble formats. They have invited Berlin video artist Claudia Schmitz as a guest and are expanding their spectrum to include another genre.
The FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA is anything but a conventional big band. With violin, vocals and electronics added to the line-up, the 20 award-winning musicians represent the state of the art of contemporary large jazz ensembles. In the works of band leaders Christina Fuchs and Caroline Thon, brute tutti passages and brass voicings à la Maria Schneider are followed by moments of silence, interspersed with collective improvisations by smaller sub-units of the band. An impressive musical experience that makes full use of the diverse timbres and combination possibilities of the instruments involved.
Since its foundation in 2019, the FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA has established itself as one of the leading, innovative large ensembles in Germany. In 2021, they were nominated for the German Jazz Award. In 2023, they released their debut album "Structures & Beauty" on ENJA Records and were celebrated by the audience on their release tour!
