AB and Bozar have it in their blood now, after their successful collaborations of recent years. Back then, the Danish Efterklang hooked up with Sinfonia Rotterdam. That resulted in not just a unique production, but a ticket sell-out. Time for a musical sequel then!

And this they have found for a second time in the shape of a unique collaboration between the Norwegian collective Jaga Jazzist and Sinfonia Rotterdam. Jaga Jazzist’s performance at London’s prestigious Barbican last year with the Britten Sinfonia was the source of the inspiration.

Jaga Jazzist is still that 9-strong, hard-to-pigeonhole collective that pushes the musical boundaries by combining jazz, electronics and post-rock. Sinfonia Rotterdam is the same 27-strong chamber orchestra from Rotterdam, with a classical and a contemporary repertoire.

Expect new versions of Jaga Jazzist compositions drawn from their complete works and specially rearranged for orchestra. You will also get to hear ‘Kaleidoscopic’, a 30-minute composition for orchestral instruments and electronics, written by Jaga Jazzist's creative spirit, Lars Horntveth.
