Indie Artist Orchester der Kulturen, and Artist LNY

A unique orchestra has to have its own very unique repertoire. Since our orchestra set-up is nowhere to be found elsewhere, you can be sure that you are always listening to music that has been written exclusively for the „Orchester der Kulturen“.
Mixing the orchestral colors with ethnic instruments from around the globe is our speciality as is to incorporate an intuitive improvised approach with sophisticated arrangements.

Even if we base a composition on a known work as for example Mozart’s „Ave Verum“, our music director re-orchestrates for African and Asian instruments and added in this case a new rhythmic part that feels like the elaborate drum work of a heavy metal band, punctuated by the vocal impros of our very own Griot from Senegal, Kandara Diebate, and the classical voice of Andrea Colangna or Abeer Nehme.

Merging all these traditions and colors is not an end in itself, but a vivid example to what kind of heights we all can achieve if we use all the potential of humankind to synthesize it into a new symphony of sound,
