Description
“A knockout band, full of players who combine ensemble spirit and instrumental mastery with the quirky roughness and individualistic timbres needed for Mingus’ turbulent scores. It is thrilling to hear such big music in a small room: the audience immerses itself in this complex, highly emotional music to a degree that is impossible in a concert hall or festival stadium.” (The London Guardian)

Music
In two expansive and eclectic sets, the Mingus Orchestra – with its distinctive blend of “jazz” and “non–jazz” instrumentation – will perform compositions by Charles Mingus that reveal the profound influence of classical and serial music on his unique body of work. “In my music, I’m trying to play the truth of what I am. The reason it’s difficult is because I’m changing all the time.” (C.M.).
