In October last year, the top Czech big band Jazz Dock Orchestra met for the first time with contemporary classical music written by young authors. After the success of this project, the Archa Theater presents its continuation. There will be six premieres of compositions written by the orchestra directly on the body. How will the encounter of sophisticated scores and non-jazz concepts with opulent sound, rhythmic drive and unfettered improvisation turn out?
The authors of the music are students of the composition departments of the Prague HAMU and JAMU Brno.
Compositions by Haštal Hapka, Lucie Páchová, Pavel Duda, Kateřina Szymeczková, Richard Grimm and Pavel Šabacký will be performed.
