Orpheus Chamber Orchestra

{"title":"Orpheus Chamber Orchestra","description":"\u003Cp\u003ELed by saxophonist and conductor Branford Marsalis, this programme pairs jazz heritage and orchestral refinement. Jeff Beal\u2019s Concerto for Saxophone \u2014 commissioned for the ensemble \u2014 foregrounds improvisatory phrasing against luminous chamber textures. Beal\u2019s arrangement of Duke Ellington\u2019s \u201cDuke\u2019s Harlem\u201d (Swiss premiere) revisits 1930s themes with big-band motifs reworked for a tight ensemble, while Javier Diaz\u2019s adaptation of Gershwin\u2019s An American in Paris blends orchestral sweep with jazz inflections. The evening unfolds without pause, emphasizing intimate interplay and rhythmic momentum.\u003C\/p\u003E","start_date":"2027-03-13","end_date":"2027-03-13","date":"Saturday 13 March, 19:30","timings":[{"timing_start_date":"20270313T183000Z","timing_end_date":"20270313T193000Z"}]}
