Almost exactly ten years have passed since Thomas Gansch's first performance with the ZJO. Today he is a good friend of the band and a favorite of the ZJO audience. The basic concept of the evening therefore remains the same: musical fireworks, fun, unconventional. This year, the Austrian trumpeter will celebrate the music from his folk crossover album Alpen & Glühen with the ZJO. Ed Partyka will enrich Thomas Gansch's original compositions inspired by folk music, which were originally performed by a chamber ensemble, with jazz sounds and big band power.
