On Sunday, 9 February at 6 p.m., two big bands, the OWL Jazz Orchestra and the Paderborn University Big Band, will perform a concert in the university's Audimax that will delight all jazz fans with swing, latin and funk. Jazz luminary Frederik K?ster will enrich the "UPB Big Band" with his trumpet playing as a special guest. The Cologne resident by choice is a professor of jazz trumpet in Osnabrück and tours the world with various projects. Tickets for the concert cost ten euros and are available from the box office. Admission is free for students and pupils.
The Paderborn University Big Band under the direction of Georg N. Schmitt is dedicated to the broad spectrum of big band literature. It performs well-known swing melodies as well as bebop classics and latin arrangements. New compositions can also be heard. In addition to purely instrumental pieces, the big band presents the voices of its singers in impressive vocal arrangements.
The Jazzorchester OWL was founded in 2011 by Christoph Leo and Daniel Reichert and offers musicians from East Westphalia-Lippe the opportunity to play big band arrangements at a high level. The line-up of five saxophones, four trumpets, four trombones and a rhythm section consists of secondary school teachers, instrumental teachers and orchestral musicians from the region. Many of the musicians have gained experience in the big band of the Detmold University of Music under the direction of Oliver Groenewald. The pieces played range from big band classics to arrangements of famous big bands and original compositions.
