Annual Review 2024 NRW – “State of the Art” | Magazin of Kunststiftung NRW
The annual review of the Kunststiftung NRW reports about FUCHSTHONE ORCHESTRA as an example of funding:
“The Fuchsthone Orchestra is one of the most exciting ensembles in contemporary big band jazz. For five years, it has been inspiring audiences with its unique sound and incomparable energy.” (Horst Peter Koll)
The collaboration between composers and conductors Christina Fuchs and Caroline Thon results in unique works that leave plenty of room for improvisation and experimentation. This mixture of compositional sophistication and creative freedom makes the ensemble an inspiring pioneer in contemporary jazz. The Kunststiftung NRW has been supporting the Fuchsthone Orchestra, one of Germany’s major jazz ensembles, for several years.
