Programme

The German All Star Big Band unites members of the best radio ensembles, freelance soloists, composers and arrangers - in short: top musicians from the German and European scene that Wolfgang Haffner has come to know and appreciate during his career to date. 
The big band is led by one of Europe's most renowned composers, arrangers and conductors, Jörg Achim Keller. His regular work for various European ensembles such as the hr-Bigband emphasises his artistic profile. Haffner describes Keller's compositions with the words: "The sounds he writes go straight to my heart."
